File save limitation in Internet Explorer 6

    We have a system that opens output in html format in Explorer. The user can see from the file size properties that the file is 106MB - no kidding it is output from an oracle database.

    When he tries to save in either txt or html the machines bombs out at around 40MB saved. I have upped his temp directory to 3000MB so that isn't the problem.

    Does Internet Explorer 6 have a file save limitation? I have spent the last hour on the net trying to find it.

    check the cache settings in IE in case the size is set to 40GB and empty it too to be on the safe side

    TBA just get a download accelerator instead

    www.netleech.com integrates into IE so can intercept the download and allows resuming from a partial download

    Cleared the cache and tried again.

    Just to clarify, he doesn't download the file as such, you query the oracle database and the output is a html document which opens by default in Explorer. I can find the file on the server and it shows 110MB. Open it in Explorer and it looks fine but try to save it and it bombs out at around 40MB.

    In any event thanks, I'll try and install a differnet browser to see if that helps.

    if the file is on the server could you try opening a copy of it or is a live report ?

    Is the webserver connection timeout kicking in?
