Q on downloading a file...

Discussion in 'General troubleshooting' started by LayLay, Apr 4, 2012.

  1. Dear all,

    In need of help to download a file/ .PDF file from http://laylayuniverse.com/22-477-2009 Court Details.aspx.... It seems I'm missing some steps within. It is now flagged with an error by saying the file is not found; 404 error. Wonder what are the steps to follow? Looking for help in this matter! Cheers! ;)


    Many thanks!

    It downloads for me. I guess you remedied the problem?

    It downloaded fine for me too. But the file was huge. It was 79 MB in size according to Google's Chrome Developer Tools. Try optimizing the PDF to a smaller file.

    I believe the reason why you are getting the the 404 error. Is because its taking to long for you to download the file. Then it will throw the misleading 404 not found error.

    So try to recreate the PDF file but in a smaller manageable size. Hope this information helps :)

    Dear both,

    Yup, apparently I've remedied it! ;)

    Just wonder how to have a smaller downloadable file size? Looking for guidance in this manner besides zipping the file up as it does not turn out well as I've tried it!!!....

    Many thanks!
