I'm evaluating SlickUpload v4.0.1 for purchase.
In order to test it's functionality, I took the ProgressDisplay sample from the distribution archive and installed it in folder "slickupload" under the root of my web application on my developmentserver, running IIS6 on Windows 2003 Server SP2.
I followed the installation instructions on the website and got it to work.
Testing with uploading several files varying in size from a few Kb's to 350Mb, I noticed the following behaviour:
a. uploading small files up to appr. 500Kb runs fine, both on IE7 and FF 2.x
b. uploading larger files up from appr. 5 Mb start normally. After uploading a few seconds, the progressbar stops expanding, while the timers and counters for uploadspeed and "time remaining" continue. You'll see the uploadspeed drop slowly from 500-900KB/s down to small numbers. This lasts for say one or two minutes, and then the browsers bomb out with page:
IE7:
----------------------------------------------
This program cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
- You are not connected to the Internet.
- The website is ancountering problems.
- There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
...and so on...
----------------------------------------------
FF 2.:
----------------------------------------------
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
- The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
- If you are unabkle to load any pages...
- If your computer or network is protected...
Try Again
----------------------------------------------
I checked:
- web.config in the application root for other httpModules -- none present than those for SlickUpload;
- web.config for other possible conflicting settings -- elimated all other settings than those for SlickUpload;
- disabled my virusscanner's realtime shield -- no change;
- httpRuntime maxRequestLength and executionTimeout settings -- maxRequestLength="1024000" Kb, executionTimeout=600 mins;
- IE7 already bombs out after a few seconds when uploading files of appr. 50Mb and up;
- FF 2.x bombs out later after tansferring ten's of Mb's;
- W2K3 Application log -- no errors or warnings pertaining to this upload;
I attached a zip archive with screenshots of SlickUpload and the errorpage.
How do I get SlickUpload working with uploading larger files?
