Readfile timeout even with set_time_limit!! :(

   header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
   header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
   header('Content-Type: '.$content_type);
   header('Content-Length: '.$content_length);
   header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
   header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filename.'"');
   header('Pragma: public');
   header('Expires: 0');
   ob_clean();
   flush();
    @readfile($link) or die("File not found.");
   exit;

PHP:

The file is like 600mb big, I run the file and the silly thing gets to 8mb then stops.

and yes i DO have:

set_time_limit(0); // fix limit
error_reporting(0); // fix stuff

PHP:

In the header, so I don't know why it still timesout

 

probably a problem with your php.ini - change post_max_size = 8M to post_max_size = 700M should fix your problem
