Faster alternative to cfcontent for large file downloads?

I am using cfcontent to securely download files so the user
can not see the path the file is stored in. With small files this
is fine, but with large 100mb+ files, it is much, much slower than
a straight html anchor tag. Does anyone have a fast alternative to
using cfheader/cfcontent for large files?
Thanks

You should be able to use Java to handle this, either through
a custom tag or you might be able to call the Java classes directly
in Coldfusion. I don't know much about Java, but I found this
example on the Web and got it to work for uploading files. Here's
an example of the code. Hope it gives you some direction:

Need PDF Information for large files

Hi experts,
I need some information from you regarding PDF related.
is there any newer adobe version for large files support - over 15mb, over 30 pages.
is it possible Batch technology with PDF
if not please suggest me Possible adobe replacements.
Thanks
Kishore

Thanks so long.
acroread renders the pages very fast. That's what i want - but it's proprietary:/
For the moment it's ok but i'd like to have a free alternative to acroread that shows the pages as quick as acroread or preloads more than 1 page.

Thumbnails for large files

OK..so now I've learned that for my large panorama filesI wont get a thumbnail in the Organizer. Just some Blue Triangle warning with a exclamation point. I do allot of golf course work where I stitch phototos and print 38 x 11 inches @ 300dpi.
So whats the work around? Is this a problem in the Bid Photoshop program? Sure I can....copy the file...reduce the resolution..save it with a different name..etc.
What the heck! You can't tell me that the program writers at Adobe can make this work for large files! Why the limit? By the way...what is the limit?
Thanks

By the way...what is the limit?

Are the brushes in Photoshop CC faster than CS6 - still need to use CS5 for large files

Hey,
Are the brushes in Photoshop CC any faster than Photoshop CS6.
Here's my standard large file, which makes the CS6 brushes crawl:
iPad 3 size - 2048 x 1536
About 20-100 layers
A combination of vector and bitmap layers
Many of the layers use layer styles
On a file like this there is a hesitation to every brush stroke in CS6. Even a basic round brush has the same hesitation, it doesn't have to be a brush as elaborate as a mixer brush.
This hesitation happens on both the mac and pc, on systems with 16 gb of ram. Many of my coworkers have the same issue.
So, for a complicated file, such as a map with many parts, I ask my coworkers to please work in CS5. If they work in CS6 I ask them to not use any CS6 only features, such as group layer styles. The only reason why one of them might want to use CS6 is because they're working on only a small portion of the map, such as a building. The rest of the layers are flattened in their file.
Just wondering if there has ever been a resolution to this problem...or this is just the way it is.
Thanks for your help!

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Optimization For Large File Transfer?

We are considering upgrading from WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2013.
One of the improvements we want to see after the upgrade is a better user experience when downloading large files. It can be done now, but it is not reliable.
Our document library consists of mostly average sized Office documents, but it also includes some audio and video files and software installer package zip files ranging from 100MB to 2GB in size.
I know we can change the settings to "allow" larger than default file downloads but how do we optimize the server setup to make these large file transfers work as seamlessly as possible? More RAM on the SharePoint Foundation server? Other Windows,
SharePoint or IIS optimizations? The files will often be downloaded from the Internet, so we will not have control over the download speed.

SharePoint is capable of sending large files, it is an HTTP stateless system like any other website in that regard. Given your server is sized appropriately for the amount of concurrent traffic you expect, I don't see any special optimizations required.

This post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, its employees, or other MVPs.
I see information like this posted warning against doing it as if large files are going to cause your SharePoint server and SQL to crash.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/praveenh/archive/2012/11/16/issues-with-uploading-large-documents-on-document-library-wss-3-0-amp-moss-2007.aspx
"Though SharePoint is meant to handle files that are up to 2 gigs in size, it is not practically feasible and not recommended as well."
"Not practically feasible" sounds like a pretty dire warning to stay away from large files.
I had seen some other links warning that large file in the SharePoint database causes problems with fragmentation and large amounts of wasted space that doesn't go away when files are removed or that the server may run out of memory because downloaded
files are held in RAM.

Large file download issue

When we are downloading a large file 100MB + with Internet Explorer the
workstation will at some point report that the connection was reset by the
server and we lose the download. This is kind of random and I've only seen
it in IE. I have and use Firefox at my desk and I have no trouble like
this. But our campus standard is IE and I really would like to pin this down.
My fear is the Packet filters. I went and looked at the packet filters we
have set up and was shocked to see we had 77 filter exceptions. My last
look only showed 45 so I need to sit down and review every filter exception
and thin the heard. Anyway, below are the exception for http which is what
I believe IE uses in downloading files. Right? and wanted a second option
from you guys.
We have NW 6.5 sp 5 BM 3.8 sp 4 ir3 and I use Craigs tuneup and proxycfg.
the packet typ HTTP is defines as:
Protocol TCP
SRC Port ALL
DEST Port 80
ACK bit Filtering disabled

When I looked at the version level of Proxy.cfg I use that you wrote it was
version 21, I did download the current version. Would the differences
between the versions cause any of the behavior I've seen. I didn't see much
in there that looked too different.

#24 here is the default added by BM. I don't think I ever touched this one.
This is a set of filters that were imported from our earlier BM versions
when we built this box. Sounds like it should have the Public IP address
listed as the source IP. Would you suggest adding that in?

Correct. We have a turn key box with a windows application that is managed
by the vendor via HTTP and that is their IP range and the target IP is
192.168.3.7 and it hold a static NAT in the 66.89.73 range on the BM Server.

The Interface is B57_1_EII and this is the Private LAN interface. The
intent is to allow the SPAM filter box http access to the internet without
requiring a proxy. The box is unable to accept a proxy setting and the way
it gets it's updates from the vendor is via HTTP.

Small NCP packets for large file read

I am running the lastest 4.91sp4 client and am getting really slow
performance through a application called bimap which reads and processes
large map files. When these files are on a Netware server (OES or 6.5 NSS
volume), Ethereal shows that NCP read requests are for only 512bytes and
then an NCP read OK is returned with 512bytes worth of data. This takes
the program several minutes to read the file and process. When the same
files sits on a Micrsoft Server Ethereal shows bursts of TCP packets all
with 1500bytes of data, resulting in a much faster load.
LIP is turned on and seems to work OK when copying files around NetWare
server, I see the bursts of 1500bytes of data, but doesn't seem to work
when using this bimap application. Any ideas?

It sounds like the application is specifically reading 512 byte
fragments on purpose. The fact you see bigger reads on Windows is likely
because on windows oplocking (caching) is enabled, but isn't on Netware.

FTP Sender Adapter with EOIO for Large files

Hi Experts,
I am Using XI 3.0 version,
My scenario is File->XI->FIle, I need to pick the files from FTP Server , there are around 50 files in it each of 10 MB Size.
So i have to pick the files from FTP folder in the same order as they put into folder , i,e.., FIFO.
So in Sender FTP Comm channel , i am Specifying
Qos = EOIO
queue name = ACCOUNT
whether the files will be picked in FIFO into the queue XBTO_ACCOUNT?
So my question is,
what is the procedure to specify the parameters so that it will process in FIFO?
What would be the BEST PRACTICE to acheive it for better performance point of view.
Thanks
Sai.

Hi spantaleoni ,
I want to process the files using FTP protocol which should be in FIFO ,
ie.., Files placed first in a folder should be picked up first and remaining one next and so on.
So if i use FTP ,
Then to process the files in sequence i.e, FIFO
the processing parameters
Qos= EOIO
Queue name = ACCOUNT
would process the files in FIFO.
and to process large files (10MB size) what would be the best Polling interval secs.
Thanks,
Sai

File Splitting for Large File processing in XI using EOIO QoS.

Hi
I am currently working on a scenario to split a large file (700MB) using sender file adapter "Recordset Structure" property (eg; Row, 5000). As the files are split and mapped, they are, appended to a destination file. In an example scenario a file of 700MB comes in (say with 20000 records) the destination file should have 20000 records.
To ensure no records are missed during the process through XI, EOIO, QoS is used. A trigger record is appended to the incoming file (trigger record structure is the same as the main payload recordset) using UNIX shellscript before it is read by the Sender file adapter.
XPATH conditions are evaluated in the receiver determination to eighther append the record to the main destination file or create a trigger file with only the trigger record in it.
Problem that we are faced is that the "Recordset Structure" (eg; Row, 5000) splits in the chunks of 5000 and when the remaining records of the main payload are less than 5000 (say 1300) those remaining 1300 lines get grouped up with the trigger record and written to the trigger file instead of the actual destination file.
For the sake of this forum I have a listed a sample scenario xml file representing the inbound file with the last record wih duns = "9999" as the trigger record that will be used to mark the end of the file after splitting and appending.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

In the sender file adapter I have for test purpose changed the "Recordset structure" set as "Row,5" for this sample xml inbound file above.
I have two XPATH expressions in the receiver determination to take the last record set with the Duns = "9999" and send it to the receiver (coominication channel) to create the trigger file.
In my test case the first 5 records get appended to the correct destination file. But the last two records (6th and 7th record get sent to the receiver channel that is only supposed to take the trigger record (last record with Duns = "9999").
Destination file: (This is were all the records with "Duns NE "9999") are supposed to get appended)

Hi Praveen,
The problem would be related to server size. genrally test system do not have same sizing as production server due to that you can not process large files in test system.
check the sizing of the system.

Does Airport time capsule work well as a storage for large files, such as RAW Photos and HD Video?

If Airport time capsule can work as a storage device, how reliable is it? Are downloads into Airport dependent on internet speed, or on the time capsule wifi?

If Airport time capsule can work as a storage device, how reliable is it?
The Time Capsule was designed to be used for Time Machine backups, but can equally be used for storage. Like any network storage device it is relatively reliable. However, you should always have a good backup strategy for important files.
Are downloads into Airport dependent on internet speed, or on the time capsule wifi?
Data transfer rates "into" the Time Capsule are dependent on a number of factors. Which factors depend on the original source of the files. Regardless, the common factors will be the TC's internal hard drive interface and data write speeds of the drive itself.

WRT54GS v1 Corrupting large file downloads - how to fix?

I have a two week old WRT54GS v1 (firmware 1.0.02) that appears to be corrupting file downloads of more than 2 or 3 Gb, more specifically program installation downloads.
When downloading, the files appear to arrive properly according to their file sizes. However, in both instances I've experienced this week with installation packages from different sources, the installation would fail with either Error 2350 or Error 11FD. (file corruption errors)
If I take the router out of the loop by connecting the desktop directly to the cable modem, the packages come through without error.
It has been suggested that this has something to do with a broken transmission or filter issue caused by the NAT hardware firewall (I don't have a clue what that means)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Rick Grant

You should try to upgrade your router's firmware, reset and re-configure it...
Download Firmware 1.7 MB...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
After re-configuring the router, observe the connection and see if it corrects your problem...

Recommended Structure for Large Files

I am working at re-familiarizing myself with Oracle development and management so please forgive my ignorance on some of these topics or questions. I will be working with a client who is planning a large-scale database for what is called "Flow Cytometry" data which will be linked to research publications. The actual data files (FCS) and various text, tab-delimited and XML files will all be provided by researchers in a wrapper or zip-container which will be parsed by some as-yet-to-be-developed tools. For the most part, data will consist of a large FCS file containing the actual Flow Cytometry Data, along with various/accompanying text/XML files containing the metadata (experiment details, equipment, reagents etc). What is most important is the metadata which will be used to search for experiments etc. For the most part the actual FCS data files (up to 100-300 mb), will only need to be linked (stored as BLOB's?) to the metadata and their content will be used at a later time for actual analysis.
1: Since the actual FCs files are large, and may not initially be parsed and imported into the DB for later analysis, how best can/should Oracle be configured/partitioned so that a larger/direct attached storage drive/partition can be used for the large files so as not to take up space where the actual running instance of Oracle is installed? We are expecting around 1TB of data files initially
2: Are there any on-line resources which might be of value to such an implementation?

Large files can be stored as BFILE datatypes. The data need not be transferred to Oracle tablespaces and the files will reside in OS.
It is also possible to index bfiles using Oracle text indexing.

Which format on a flash drive for large files for use by Mac and PC

I need to copy large files (9GB of movie file exported from iMovie of school graduation) onto 16GB flash drives so they can be used by school parents who may have Mac, PC or even TV.
My first attempt says the files are too large.
A lot of googling tells me this is a recognised problem but I am confursed by which advice to take.
I am on a 2012 iMac running OSX version 10.7.4.
Do I need to download some software to run NTFS. It all sounds so confusing!
I ended up in this predicament because the quality of my photo slideshows I copied to my DVD-R was so bad. Thought a flash drive would be easy. Ha, not at all.
Please answer in laymans terms - I could barely follow some of the advice I found.....

Format the flash drives with Disk Utility in ExFAT format.

Anybody have a resolution for PRIAMOS file download using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and Adobe Reader XI?

Does anyone have experience of the EU PRIAMOS file download system? I am experiencing difficulties in downloading files in Adobe Reader format ( I have set the default PDF reader to Adobe Reader).
The PRIAMOS system can only communicate with Windows 32bit - Mozilla Firefox 2 and higher or......
IE 6 or 7
IE 7 or 8 (in compatibility mode)
Supported PDF programmes are:
Adobe Reader 8.1 or higher
My Adobe Reader software is the latest version (Adobe Reader XI for Mac with latest update as at 10 Sept 2013)
The PRIAMOS system does not officially support Mac computers, but PRIAMOS has been used successfully with OS X version 10.5.8 (Leopard) and Mozilla Firefox (2.5) (with built in PDF reader disabled and Adobe Reader enabled) and Adobe Reader 8.1
Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Oops, I hit return before I was finished!
In short, does anyone have any ideas apart from those I've tried. One solution seems to be to go back to 10.6.4 - one of the other discussions seem to indicate that the probelm comes in with 10.6.8.
Thanks!
