we may need to create a 64 bit version of the necko interfaces.

the only way to really support >2G downloads would be to switch all interfaces over and make those interfaces be the only way to do things. this means deprecating several key xpcom/necko interfaces (namely nsIInputStream and nsIStreamListener).
Comment 2•22 years ago

Someone needs to really see how common these large files are now, and/or gauge when they will be common. I've seen one game demo that broke the 1gig mark, and I suspect this to be more and more common. That's still not 2gig's but I'm sure it's comming in the not too distant future. Another alternative is to do something similiar to what Microsoft did. Provide alternatives that allow a secondary 32 bit value to be passed. This isn't as clean, but allows existing code to work unchanged if it's known it doesn't have to deal with such large files.

darin: are those interfaces frozen?

biesi: last i checked ;-)
Shouldn't this really be "allow 2GB filesizes via 64 bit interfaces" ?

I guess it depends on what you mean 64 bit interfaces? Win32 a 32 bit interface API provides 32 bit API functions that handle access to files larger than 2 gigs.

ok, list of frozen interfaces that would require changes for files >2gb: nsIChannel.idl: attribute long contentLength; nsIStreamListener: 67 in unsigned long aOffset, 68 in unsigned long aCount); (parameters of onDataAvailable) nsIFile.idl: surprisingly this requires no changes. nsIInputStream.idl: several functions + nsWriteSegmentFun nsIOutputStream.idl: basically same as nsIInputStream nsIScriptableInputStream: 49 unsigned long available(); 55 string read(in unsigned long aCount); -afaik this is a complete list of the frozen interfaces that would require changes- of the unfrozen ones, nsIWebProgressListener.idl comes to mind, but most likely there are others.
Summary: Necko - Allow handling of files > 2gig → Necko - Allow handling of files > 2gig (>2 GB)

unfrozen ifaces in xpcom: nsIAsync{Input,Output}Stream: in unsigned long aRequestedCount nsIByteArrayInputStream.idl: (maybe) NS_NewByteArrayInputStream (nsIByteArrayInputStream ** aResult, char * buffer, unsigned long size); (size would be the part to change, but who would create a byte input stream with more than 4 GB?) nsIObjectInputStream: unlikely (putBuffer(in charPtr aBuffer, in PRUint32 aLength)) nsIObservableOutputStream.idl: void onWrite(in nsIOutputStream outStr, in unsigned long amount); nsIPipe.idl: segmentSize, segmentCount nsISeekableStream.idl: void seek(in long whence, in long offset); unsigned long tell(); nsIStringStream.idl: similar to nsIByteArrayInputStream

I think were going to see more 2GB+ downloads in the future, as said earlier, some gaming demo's are creeping up already to the 1GB mark. 2GB is only a matter of time. DVD images could also be that large.

I think that list of frozen interfaces is wrong - if unsigned longs are used, that gives us 4GB, not 2GB. The content length is an issue, though happily, not for mailnews, since we only open streams on parts of a file :-)
Comment 23•21 years ago
|
||
sure, 4 GB are better than 2 GB, but I don't think we should limit these APIs to 4 GB either.
Comment 24•21 years ago
|
||
2GB -> 4GB is a bandaid, not a fix For starters a DVD image is easily above 4 GB... 48 or 64bit sizes feels like the way to go here, unless people want to keep revisiting this issue every 6 months.

nsISeekableStream now supports 64 bit streams (though some implementations will truncate at 32 bits and ASSERT)

Is bug 247599 related to this? Probably its the same issue of 32 vs 64 bits representation, but maybe in a different part of Mozilla.

here an example for an application: - a web-site with a form to choose software/update packages - after submit the server sends you an ISO-image ready for burning on a CD/DVD Problems: - content-length-header ist limited to 2GB in mozilla (some browsers 4GB) - without content-length-header the download stops after 2.4GB (of 5.5GB) so it's time for the future :) or we have to use CDs forever
Comment 34•20 years ago

I really think this needs some serious attention. This will be just another excuse for people not to use Gecko based browsers. I'm sure in intranet environments such large files are going to be more and more common.

I just ran into this bug. While I'm just a user, I'm commenting to agree with the fact that while currently uncommon, files in excess of 2 GB (or 4 GB) will be seen with increasing regularity. In my case, FC3 DVD ISO at 2.4 GB. I realize the bug is mostly cosmetic, but everything else in Mozilla/Firefox is so polished that it really stood out.
Comment 37•20 years ago

This probably will never get fixed, altough it's being constantly reported as a new bug (even I couldn't find it on bugzilla for the first time I reported it) So much for the 1.0 hype: - Tabs still open to windows which have no toolbars or tab-bars making it impossible to use them (i.e. opening links in a popup window) - DM does not behave correctly with files larger than 4GB - DM retry-function seldomly works - Crashes with known _overflow_ exploits (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/mangleme/gallery/) - on win32 does not recover quickly from being minimized for few hours (over night), it's rather funny how I can leave opera or ie windows open and start using them in the morning with no lag whatsoever, but with mozilla? no no.

This is not a Firefox download manager tracking bug nor is it a place for you to rant about the hype surrounding Firefox 1.0 and the problems you've had with it.

Oh, sorry. I thought this was the Firefox-product.. When I reported the bug I put it under Firefox/DM, but this seems to be general Browser/Networking. Once again, I'm truly sorry for the confusion here.

I already run multiple times into this bug. once with fedora DVD image and one wihth MacOS X DVD disk images. Both are around 2.5GB. So its definitively time to fix this. It is VERY ANNOYING if you download a 2.5GB file (took me 4h) and you end up with a 2.0GB file without any error message whatsoever. You will burn it to DVD, try to boot it. YOu will burn it again and again until you realize your image file is too small for what it should be. So you wasted already more time on this than what it takes to fix this :).

2.5 Years into this bug, and I still have to go use "some other browser" if I want to download DVD ISOs (for things like Linux, etc.). Just another user voting that this really really needs to get fixed at some point in the near future.

This is not true. it is not fixed. Of course you can download 2.5GB files with Firefox. The download just stops after 2048MB and you THINK it has downloaded everything. It would have been nice to have a dialogbox popping up in the beginning saying the file is too big or such. But no, you have to wait hours and hours to realize that all your download is wasted bandwith. A very SERIOUS bug, especially its so old by now. I had this again in Firefox 1.0.2. And I'm sure its still there in 1.0.4 (And no, I wont try it until someone confirms its fixed, as downloading >2GB takes an awful lot of time for me).

He said newer than 1.0.x, which means 1.1, which is still in alpha
Comment 57•19 years ago

yes, I can confirm that it's fixed for 1.1 tree , I am using nightly snapshot of Deer Park alpha 1 (2005.05.30) and I've just donwloaded 2.5 GB iso which passes its own crc test ok. However I haven't found > 4GB file on fast nearby network so I don't know anything about > 4GB files yet, but if there are 64bit interfaces already (and it seems like that from source codes to me) it will be ok too.
Comment 58•19 years ago

yeah, for downloads there are. not for uploads... and maybe some other stuff too.
Comment 59•19 years ago
|
||
(In reply to comment #55) > And I'm sure its still there in 1.0.4 I am using 1.0.4, and I just downloaded FC3 via FTP, which is 2.3GB. The download counter went negative near the end, but the download was still valid. Firefox produced a 2.3GB file that contains data throughout the entire file, so I believe it's legit. That would suggest the bug is /partially/ fixed.
Comment 60•19 years ago
|
||
I tried the same but in my case it used HTTP instead of FTP. I have a file of 2117734496 bytes (1.97GB) instead of 2.7GB as it should be. So the protocol type does make a difference.

Debian 3.1 is >4 GB. See: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r0a/i386/iso-dvd/debian-31r0a-i386-binary-1.iso (or use a mirror) Firefox 1.0.4 stopps at 2 GB.

(In reply to comment #61) > Firefox 1.0.4 stopps at 2 GB. yes, indeed, but use 1.1 version tree ( http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ ), which has it fixed by now, and you'll see that it work for > 4 GB with FTP or HTTP (I've tried your iso link from both and run verification on files,they are absolutely ok and over 4 GB)

It appears that the download manager.. or at least support for byte-range-resume does not work yet. When I try to resume ('retry' as download mgr calls it), the download manager app does not actually send the new (range) request... sample: http://up.ascentmedia.com/upweb/test.jsp?file=FC4-i386-DVD.iso

I think there is another serious problem - and reason for fixing this bug. When trying to download files > 4GB (for example ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/suse/i386/9.3/iso/SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso) the browser (firefox 1.0.7, running under SuSE Linux 9.1) crashes when reaching the 4GB border. I suppose the reason might be a "division by zero" as the average transfer rate swapped to neg. numbers after passing the 2GB and grew afterwards until it reached zero - and the browser crashed.

Firefox RC1 (Mac) cuts files of length over 4 GB to 4 GB when "downloading" from a file in the harddisk. The Debian ISOs are over 4 GB. Bojan
Comment 72•19 years ago
|
||
Firefox 1.0.7 (Mac) cuts files of length over 4 GB to 4 GB, like Firefox 1.5 RC1, when "downloading" from a file in the harddisk. It shows the negative size of the downloaded part as described elsewhere in this bug report. The local download is a good trick to test the download manager. Can please someone, at best with a local network at home, retest the 4 GB limit with all downloading possibilites (HTTP, FTP, harddisk) before Firefox 1.5 is released? Tests with HTTP and FTP seemed to be made and work. However, this bug should be fixed, doesn't matter how curious the download possibilities are. Bojan PS: I meant Firefox 1.5 RC1 instead of Firefox RC1 on my previous post. :)

This is still broken in Firefox 1.5... I just spent the past couple of hours trying to download the DVD image of Fedora Core 5 (~3GB in size), and it was running smoothly the entire time. Once it hit 2GB though, it just stopped and Firefox said the download was finished when in fact it really wasn't. The download manager showed the correct status and file size, but gave me no indication that it would quit automatically after 2GB.
Comment 77•18 years ago

I'm using FireFox 1.5.0.1 on Windows, and was downloading the purchase of Oblivion (which is slightly bigger than 4 GB). After 4 GB (and three hours), it stopped with a write error that suggested I try saving the file somewhere else. Two problems: 1) It really needs to support > 32 bits. fpos_t exists for a reason. 2) As long as it doesn't support > 32 bits, it needs to tell me that it won't work, with a good error message, ideally before it tries to download.
Comment 78•18 years ago
|

this is the wrong bug. but as everyone keeps posting to it... What filesystem are you saving to when it doesn't work in 1.5?
Comment 79•18 years ago
|
||
biesi, what's the correct bug? I noticed that after I downloaded the FC5 iso images that the DVD iso doesn't even show up in the directory lists. Via http, this could very well be a bug in apache 2.0 but via file://, it's a moz bug. In fact, via file://, ff 1.5 won't even load the directory that contains the image. The FS is ext3.

I'm saving to NTFS when it doesn't work in 1.5.0.1, running Windows XP SP2. Btw: If this is the wrong bug, then what bug should I re-direct to? This bug was what came up when doing a search.
Comment 81•18 years ago
|
||
Yes - if this is the 'wrong bug', which one is correct? Is there one that is general to the file & stream interfaces and not just networking or Necko? The interfaces listed earlier appear to be core? I could not find a 'closer' bug... Or do we need a new bug/RFE for the core file/stream (not network) interfaces? One that gets the attention of the specific owners? My searching did not find another bug/RFE for file/stream that suggests (rightfully) depecating ALL 32 bit file/stream interfaces (deprecate 32 bit and adjunct new 64 bit interfaces - not change existing ones as seems to have been implied here and the reaons for no action). Otherwise this seems to be closet match for well-doers (who are not product specialists) to express frustration (it is 3-1/2 years old and 'new', after all).
Comment 82•18 years ago

bug 243974 is right, and FIXED, which is what I thought the state of that issue is. the relevant download interfaces do support this. in fact last I tested this it worked for me. new issues for specific download problems should get new bugs. comment 54 describes what this bug is about.

Sites that post multi-gig data files do commonly become the reality. Firefox cannot handle them gracefully (neither can IE, but who cares?). As of today's mainstream browsers (not concerning command line tools) only the latest Opera was able to download this file correctly (i.e. completely): ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/supplementary/series/GSE2109/GSE2109_RAW.tar (and there are many more similar huge files there) So I am voting for this bug!

I always saw this bug to be about all parts of necko that handle 32-bit file sizes, and not all of those are fixed. in particular, upload isn't...

Oh, true, completely forgot about upload. Can't seem to find any place where I could even begin to upload >2gig file.

You do it locally, with a .html page saved on your disk (or a local webserver) that has some sort of upload system on it. Unfortunately the only upload system I know is Uber-Uploader, and I've never checked if it handles 2 GB files.

You can upload multi-GB files on YouTube (through regular POST, not flash upload): http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_upload?nobeta Cheers from the YT team - we hope this can be fixed soon obviously :P For reference, to make large files: Linux: dd if=/dev/zero of=4gbfile bs=1024 count=4194304 Windows: fsutil file createnew d:\temp\4gbfile.txt 4294967296

That page specifically states that the files are to be up to 2 GB.

(In reply to comment #107) > That page specifically states that the files are to be up to 2 GB. So, if you try testing with a larger than 2GB file, yes, it will be marked as 'too big'. But the POST should upload completely (that is, if this bug were fixed :P) If you need an additional partner account to test with, let me know (those are up to 20GB - email me directly). Although, I do see that you guys have the http://www.youtube.com/firefox channel - maybe you can use that one for testing? (obviously making the test videos just private ones)

(In reply to comment #106) > For reference, to make large files: > Linux: > dd if=/dev/zero of=4gbfile bs=1024 count=4194304 You really want to use: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/4gbfile bs=1024 seek=4194304 count=1 faster, and doesn't actually require 4 GB of disk space :)

So what's up with this bug? Firefox 15 still truncates downloads to 4 GB Chromium downloaded all the 4.2 GB. I'm not trolling anything here, just trying to prove that it wasn't a server or filesystem/OS problem (openSUSE 12.3 Factory)

This might work in Firefox 18 now that bug 784912 has been fixed.

Also probably relevant that bug 215450 was fixed recently.

Guys, downloads are supposed to work for a long time now. If they're not, please do file a new bug with steps to reproduce. Since uploads are also fixed, resolving this bug.
