Not fully downloading file from web site

Post by ABabeNChrist »

I have a web page where a user can select a button labeled “File Name Program Download”. The problem I seem to be having is the download file named “file name” which is a zip file. Works most of the time but probably 1 out of 5 times will not fully download file, which when trying to open up says file is corrupt. Here is the code I am using.

Code: Select all

<td nowrap height="46" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#0000FF"><span class="text"><a href="files/file name.zip"><b><font color="#FFFFFF" size="6"><span style="font-size:30px;line-height:35px;">File Name Program Download<br soft></span></font></b></a></span></td>
Should I replace

Code: Select all

class="text"><a href="files/file name.zip">
with

Code: Select all

class="compressed"><a href="files/file name.zip">
or is there a better approach :scratch:

<span class="text"> is merely a reference to a style defined in your CSS. It doesn't have an intrinsic meaning. It's more likely that your web server is too slow, or the connection is flaky.
Best wishes,

Perhaps someone else will have a suggestion, I'm not an expert in this.
Best wishes,

Thank you Hans
Your probably right in saying it may be my server. This problem has occurred on different computers using different connections.
