I am having a related problem with downloading files from a TikiWiki 1.9 installation on a Windows 2003 server. Seems like the availability of the file (in File Gallery - database storing) stops after about 4-5 minutes.
I currently live in Tanzania, and the bandwidth is not very good (from 16 Kbytes/sec and up). This means that some downloads would take more than 4-5 minutes.
Downloading the files from Norway is easy going. So - Is the suggested procedure good enough for solving this problem?
I would like to have a timeout of around 20 minutes from the file is fed to the webserver cache, and until it is (or should be) ready downloaded from the server to the users browsers.
I have checked script timeout on PHP and on MySQL. The problem seems to be as described above - ie. related to the file cache somewhere after the file has been extracted from the datbase and made available on the server (cache?).
Hope someone can tell more about this.
