Subject: Re: Download size limitation?
When I try to download certain Microsoft XP updates, such as .NET
framework, which are large files, the download stops at 4 MB each time.
I don't know if this is a problem with IE, Microsoft's server, or my ISP
(on a DSL). Is it a temp directory limitation? Is there something I should
tweak in the registry? I have a 40 GB hard drive which is about 1/3 full, so
that isn't the problem..
Does anyone have an explanation for this?
Ken
REPLY:
Then on another group someone said to decrease the value for the receive
window (RWin) setting (on a DSL tweaker) to half of what it was, and that
worked immediately. Something about with a too high RWin setting the server
thinks you are disconnected and stops sending the file. Anyway, it worked.
