Large File Download Failures

[GrimTheWanderer]

The error was encountered on the following pages:

http://www.tessource.com/files/file.php?id=3307

http://www.tessource.com/files/file.php?id=2732

 

Most attempts to download those files fail. Methods used in attempts are as follows:

(All methods were used in attempts to download both files)

(All attempts made on dial-up connection at speeds of 31.0, 30.6, 29.2, and 26.4 kb/s)

 

Attempt 1) Basic download. When the download link was clicked I was transfered to a blank index.html page on "big.tessource.net" the exact url being "http://big.tessource.net/files/index.html"

 

Attempt 2) External download manager. Attempts were made with Getright, and Leechget (as per recommendation in other post concerning issues regarding large file downloads)

Getright, upon retrieving file location, lists link as invalid.

Attempt 2 b*) Leechget, upon retrieving file location, parses link. (download currently in progress)

 

Attempt 3) FTP access through browser, recieved error 530, anonymous login not supported.

Attempt 3 b) FTP access through external FTP application. Account type "user". Standard forum/site login information used. Username accepted, password failure. FTP host on server big.tessource.net reports 18-19/50 possible users present. Host also reports anonymous logins are not allowed, and sessions inactive over 15 minutes will be terminated.

 

 

*Leechget download completed during the creation of this post. Peculiar results logged/ing during operation. Operation remotely aborts rendomly, resumes, generally in incriments of 10,000+ bytes (approx. 1kb). Download speed average 3kb/s. I will edit and post success/failure of download when/if it completes.

 

Errors recieved were primarily implicit (failed download link redirects), only explicit when FTP transfer attempted. Attempts were made prior to this ocassion (04/21/06) in which the transfer would begin and spontaneously abort. Said attempts utilized basic download method.

 

Mahalo,
