its there a download time limit in safari? im trying to download a 5gb/24 hours download ( 512mb D:), but after 12 hours the download crash, its a server limitation? or safari limitation?

once in a while i cancel de DL and resume later...
what aobut firefox ???

thanksSSS!!!
 
My guess would be that the server is throwing you out after a certain time limit.

You might want to try downloading with cURL. It will give you more info about what's going on, and there's no time limit by default. It will also resume the transfer if you give it the '-C -' option.

open the terminal and type

Code:
curl -v -O -C - http://www.site.com/file.img

Replace the URL with the one you want to download.

FTR, Safari has no time-limiting feature or capability. That'll be on your ISP or the serving site.







thanks for your responses, in the mid time i used SPEED DOWNLOAD to download the app, it was cancelled after 12 hours (i think its a 12 hours time limit in the server), but speed download gaves me the ability to continue where it remain, so reset safari (clear cookies) and then resume the download, thanks again for your help, I'll keep it mind the next time,
thanks and sorry formy crapy english :p
