Downloading Large Files

I believe this is caused by a memory limit setting in php.ini. I tried downloading a large file and had the same issue. I went into /config/config.php and turned on debugging so instead of a white screen I see the actual error. The error was that the script had run out of memory. If you open your php.ini file (your system administrator should know where this is) and increase the "memory_limit" setting to a number larger than twice the size of the largest file you want to download that should take care of it.

I haven't looked at that part of the code in detail, but it would appear that when you click to download a file PP loads the file into memory before sending the file to your browser. I would personally consider this a design flaw and think the download mechanism should be redesigned in a future revision.

The bottom line for now though is you need to increase the memory_limit setting on your server in your php.ini file if you are going to be downloading large files from PP. If you are on a shared hosting account and don't have access to this file you can try inserting this line into /application/models/project files/ProjectFile.class.php, just under the line that reads: function getFileContents()

ini_set("memory_limit","128M");

obviously change 128M to whatever number you need it to be.
