Hi,
I've been downloading files using
load URL "http://......" with message "downloadComplete"
just like the docs say.
But on large or slow downloads the downloadComplete message never gets passed. I watch and can see when the bytesReceived = bytesTotal but the app just hangs never getting to "downloaded". Hitting Ctrl+. does push it through in the stand alone and during development.
Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Simon

Simon,

It would be easier if you posted your script. Are you using a repeat loop with "with messages" added to it?

Best,

Mark

Hi Mark,
Here is the code:

on updatePod
load URL "http://www.lunar.com/pressroom/podcast/ ... 121807.mp3" with message "downComplete"
end updatePod

No loops, really simple.
The difficult part in testing this is try it on a dial-up. Or figure out how to choke your bandwith to 26KB/s. Then you'll see the problem.

Thanks,
Simon

How?

Hi Mark,
I had libURLSetStatusCallback running but took it out as I wasn't interested in the progress. So I could see it then.
