    Help downloading an uploaded file

    I have an archive (.zip) file that I have uploaded to my site folder. I try this address and I can't download the file: http://freedomlive.exofire.net/pictures.zip
    It appears to begin downloaded but immediately quits without more than 465 bytes read.
    I have put the file in the main website folder, the www folder, and the index file folder and I still get errors on each one. How would I make this file available where it can be downloaded from a link?

    Try putting it in a folder containing the word "public". Not sure of the exact folder name, due to my absence from x10.

    Try putting it in a Public folder, or change the Permissions.

    I got a 404 error while trying to get the file. Did you take it down? It should work simply by sticking it into the public_html folder. You can also try using the public_ftp folder where you should be able to host the file and transfer it via FTP.

    It appears to be in the public_html folder, although I never manually moved it there. Any other ideas?

    Hmm. Here, at the bottom of this post, there is a file I'd like you to upload to your site's public_html folder. Once it's in there, I'll try to download it (you can try downloading it as well). The ZIP File has nothing in it, so it's basically a pile of 1s and 0s and is unreadable should you be wondering what is in it. If this works, then we'll have to see what's going on with the file you linked to above.

    The file is uploaded to the public_html folder. Assuming all other parameters are the same, this is the new link to the file:

    http://freedomlive.exofire.net/test.zip

    This is the same folder I had before but with fewer pictures inside.

    Re: Help downloading an uploaded file

    I'm glad they worked for you, they did for me as well. The original is about 160 mb in size, is this the problem? There may be a file size limit for the free hosting. Is this the problem?

    I was able to download the file from you earlier. Can't check it now though since your server is down. Otherwise, I'm not aware of anything that would be blocking download greater than a certain amount of megabytes for free hosting. I know there's PHP memory limits, but other than that, it's just a matter of running up your bandwidth usage.
