I'm not able to download big files from OwnCloud

[Fabio]

The title catch perfectly my issue...
I've uploaded to OwnCloud different files, of various dimensions.
I've problem just largre files, that are not downloaded. If i try to downloiad via the IOs App, i'm getting back error 0 ( ) , if i do the same on a computer, with the Windows app installed, it doesn't even start.
Maily i'm talking about movies and videos ( from 100 Mb up to 10Gb )

Someone have any suggestion?

Hi,

many thanks for your message. Did you tried to download using a normal web browser and not an app? Does it behave same?

[Fabio]

Hello @Joulinar , thx for yr reply!
Yes always the same story...

[Joulinar]

ok I installed ownCloud for testing purposes to try out your case. I used a file of around 580MB and was able to download it using a browser. Once I pushed the download button, I got a running circle on the file. It took a minute or two before the download start. Which web server you are using?

[Fabio]

What do you mean exactly?
Sorry but I’m not understanding... I’ve it running on a Raspberry Pi 2B and I’ve done de default installation with mariadb lighttpd and so on...

How I can check what are you asking?

In that case, lighttpd is your web server. It would be whatever you have selected for Webserver Preference in dietpi-software.

Maybe this can help...

Reading around could be a timeout time problem, because of the size of the file...
You that are more expert, seems a possible thing? Where i can find the time out time to adjust it?

[Joulinar]

for me owncloud/lighttpd is working fine to download large files. However it takes up to 10 minutes before it start to actually download a 3.4GB files. The web server is trying to cache the file upfront. Until now I did not find a working solution how to avoid the caching. On my RPi3B+ it's eating up whole 1GB ram and it starts swapping as well.

It's similar to what is described on this NextCloud forum post https://help.nextcloud.com/t/download-t ... t/62501/42
