2008 r2 IIS hangs on file download link

Turn on Indexing Service on both client and server. Nothing helped, returned items 2 thru 7 to original settings.

User posted Martin, you may be in the ballpark, as the progress bar running through the file address bar at the top of the open Webdav'ed folder is suspicious. However, none of the hotfixes you mention "officially" pertain to Vista or Windows 7.

Risk to my systems? Sunday, November 27, PM. User posted BTW, all: Rob has some CAB files from me captured during my transfer problems that he's passed along to some Microsoft web client guys for analysis. User posted Hi, I hope this is the correct ballpark :D. The reason for the links is the common information for the Registery changes.

User posted Got it. Tried it, and no change. As mentioned above, right-click takes a very long time to respond for a small file, and forever with a large file. Transfer is still interesting as before. For example: I drag a 32MB file into the Webdav folder view and the progress bar moves quickly to the right, then pauses for several minutes doing something. I say "something" because the file actually transferred quickly. If I break the transfer by restarting the app pool in IIS7 on the server, I can access the transferred file just fine from the server's desktop.

BTW, if I try to break the session from the client, it won't respond, even if I stop the process from the Task Manager on the client, IIS7 on the server still hangs on to the file. Returned above items to original settings, rebooted, all is back to original state.

User posted Hi Howard, Looks like the wrong ball park. I was looking at the UI and Visual parts. Best to wait until the report for the failure tests is done. Delayed investigation by installing Verizon Media Manager on my server which caused a file locking problem, and is a bad product in many other ways.

Got it out of the way and am back on track with investigation. Any sub folder I open also begins this transfer of files down to this folder on my client. Trying to find out more about this, why it does it and how it can be disabled and the repercussions if I do so. Sunday, December 18, PM.

User posted Good morning, I am having the same problem. Actually, the windows progress in a copy of a big file takes too much time to get done. It gets stuck when the progress is almost completed. In addition, I have the same problem yours when I right click a larger file. Did you solve your problem? If you need some test, or something I can help, please let me know.

Thank you very Much, Vitor. Friday, December 23, AM. Apparently, this is a cache for Webdav transactions. While the file is copied into this cache folder, the green progress bar moves rapidly to the right, but not quite to the end. The copy status window says all but a few MB has completed the transfer. BUT it has not actually been transferred, it was just copied to the cache folder. After a pause of about 10 seconds, the file actually begins to upload to my IIS7 server.

The transfer of this MB file on my local in-home network takes about 30 minutes. The copy now completes, the green status bar completes, and the copy status window closes. The file is now present on my server. I'm working with Microsoft guys now to understand this "feature" and hopefully turn it "off". Also, when I right click on a file in the open WebDav folder on my client, the file I right click on is transferred to this cache folder so that my Vista client can determine the file's properties.

It looks like WebDav file transactions are all handled through copies of files of files within the local cache. This is really horrible with large files. In this case, it takes about 30 minutes for the right-click pull down menu to appear. I asked about it earlier in this thread. Configuation and Scripting for IIS 7 and above.

This is NOT a "i need tuning" item. IT should work a lot faster without. We've eliminated the download link by successfully downloading the same file from an alternate location where it DLs 1. Definitely something slow about our setup for a single file.

Have you checked that you don't have some sort of throttling enabled on the IIS server? Something like: blogs. Also I'd double check that there isn't a misconfiguration on the ASA throttling individual streams at 20mbps — Zypher. Show 2 more comments. Active Oldest Votes.
