I am a newcomer to DNN and haven't worked with asp.net before so bare with me. I need to allow users to download a large file about 230 Mb.

Facts:
   DNN v4.0.0,
   Win2003,
   SQLServerXpress,
   Documents modul v03.01.00.

 I get  an error message  saying that the  document doesn't  contain any data when I try to download the file (I do not have problems with smaller files). I've made some changes to the web.config file allowing large file uploads. I've read that there was a bug regarding large file download and it refers to a workaround http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812406#appliesto, my problem is that I do not have any idea on where to include this code, if that is at all my problem. Please help me even if you think that this is a silly question.

Hm, that could be a lot of different reasons why your download will not work properly.

The documents module take care of some core code to download the files, so that you have no chance to add the workaround in the document module.

BTW: It is not really a good idea to provide downloads of this size via http download, for big files it is much better to use a ftp server.

If you like you can try my module DNNPortal-Download for your big files (the module works as described in the workaround).
