Large digital files

[midder]

Hello.

I noticed in the admin section that it said my limit for a digital good is 4MB. Is this an IIS-imposed limit (from the metabase) or is this an AC limitation? What would my options be if I wanted to load a very large file into the system (several hundred MB, for example).

Thanks.

Hello,

Just ftp upload files larger than 4mb, that's just a web based upload limit. Not a download size limit.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So we just put them in a specific directory and then we can configure them in the admin section? Or how do we make sure they show up and are configurable?

There seems to be a bug in the digital goods section. I uploaded my file (an exe) and put it in the Digital Goods directory(/App_Data/DigitalGoods/). I then went into manage digital goods to change the File Name to the actual name. The first issue is that there is a javascript error thrown when you tab from the browse dialog to the file name text box. Even when I don't do that, it doesn't seem to matter what I put in the file name text box. It always goes back to the guid.esd file that it created when I first created the good.

Can you confirm? Or tell me how I'm supposed to go about this?

Thanks again.

I ran into the same issue.

Our workaround for this was to just manually load the records for the digital goods directly into the database after we uploaded them via ftp.

Thanks for confirming the issue. Unfortunately that's a deal breaker for me.

AbleCommerce, any response?

Hello,

It's working in our next release and it looks like were going to get it out this week.

Sounds good. I'll be looking forward to that.

This is so cool. We're starting a media site for our church and I just downloaded a 13 MB zip file with an hour long mp3 in it in 45 seconds!
