I may have mentioned this a few months ago, but it's
becoming a HUGE pain in the butt.

I switched from Classic to Apache web server.  On my web
page I use Meta tags to "refresh" and download a file.  So,
lets say you click on the spltool.zip download link.  It
takes you to another page that will do an auto download
(like many other sites do).

Well, on slower connections (like dialup), and even on some
T1s this download quits after about 60k and corrupts the
zip.  It just cancels the download.  Never had this happen
on Classic.

Has anyone else encountered this?  If you'd like to see what
I mean, try clicking on the spltool.zip link at
www.bvstools.com/spltool.html.  If it stops after 60k, then
try http://www.bvstools.com/spltool.zip and it should
download ok.

This is really odd, and really irking me.  Maybe it's time
to switch back to good ol classic?  Who knows...

I searched groups.google.com for this and did find only one
other metion of this with Websphere on an iSeries.  I
emailed the guy and he said IBM didn't have a fix, and said
it was TCPIP timing out or something.  But WHY only on
refresh HTTP tags, and not direct downloads is beyond me.

I'd like to hear if anyone else is experiencing similar
problems.  Thanks!
