    You can set the maximum timeout in php.ini or in the top of your script:
    set_time_limit(0);

    i have tried and set that timeout to a big number but again approximately after 5 minutes the download terminates
    how is that
    i have read this too:
    there seem to be other options
    i am using a php host:
    http://ir.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php

    i found this too:
    Timeouts after five minutes in IIS on Windows are caused by an inherited CGI Timeout value of 300 seconds. This is not a PHP problem. The fix is to add custom values for the files or directories that need longer to run.

    In IIS 5.0 or 7.0 (beta as of this note), you can change this value on a fairly granular level using IIS Manager, under (roughly) YOURSITE -> Properties -> Home Directory -> Configuration (button) -> Options, but in IIS 6.0, this functionality is turned off (!), so you have to get into the Metabase.

    Find the site number in Metabase Explorer (e.g., 12345678), then from CMD prompt:

    [get to the scripts dir]
    cd C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts

    [this for each subdirectory from off the site root]
    cscript adsutil.vbs CREATE W3SVC/12345678/root/"MY SUBDIRECTORY" IIsWebDirectory

    [this for the file in question]
    cscript adsutil.vbs CREATE W3SVC/12345678/root/"MY SUBDIRECTORY"/ILikeToTimeOut.php IIsWebFile

    [this to set the timeout]
    cscript adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/12345678/root/"MY SUBDIRECTORY"/ILikeToTimeOut.php/CGITimeout "7200"

    Note: "7200" is 2 hours in seconds, but can be whatever.

    I derived the solution above from this fine article:
