Managing large file downloads from specialized mobile environments

[emilyloris555]

Hi everyone,

I've been using jDownloads to manage a repository of scripts and tools for a project I'm working on, but I've run into a bit of a technical hurdle with how some files are being handled on mobile.

I was having a long download executor convo with my team earlier today because we noticed that when users try to grab certain data packets directly from within a script-heavy environment, the download often hangs at 99% or fails to verify the checksum. It seems like the handshake between the jDownloads storage path and the mobile execution layer is timing out before the file can be properly moved to the local directory.

Related to this, I'm also seeing some weirdness with the "hotlink protection" settings. Does anyone know if jDownloads has specific issues with user agents that don't follow standard browser strings? I'm trying to figure out if I need to whitelist certain IP ranges or if there is a way to force a more stable "Direct Download" link for users who are operating through these types of tools.

I'd really appreciate any advice on how to optimize the download stability for high-load mobile environments!

Best regards.

Hello,
at the moment this report cannot be verified as a jDownloads issue.

The description is too unspecific and does not contain a reproducible test case.
If this is a real bug report, please provide:

1. exact jDownloads version
2. exact Joomla version
3. exact steps to reproduce the issue
4. whether it also happens on desktop
5. whether it also happens with SEF disabled
6. the exact error message
7. one concrete test case with one specific download

Without clear reproduction steps, it is not possible to analyse this further.

I can't find a jDownloads component on the website mentioned.
