[ZendTo] New beta including file "chunking"

[Massimo Forni]

Hi,

IMHO I would disable this feature by default, if is not needed why having the chunking enabled with the (little) overhead?

Massimo,

Brilliant. It's been working nicely for me, but glad to hear someone else confirms it works too!

The 90MB value is only used if you haven't included the setting 'uploadChunkSize' in preferences.php at all.
Provided you run the /opt/zendto/bin/upgrade script after upgrading, then you will have the setting, whose default is some slightly more sensible value.

The "last ditch fallback" value is 90MB as it's under the 100MB limit imposed by the free tier of Cloudflare's website protection service.

What would make a better number for this?

Cheers,
Jules.

Hi jules, I just tested the chunking feature and it works flawlessly
May be is a beta/temp settings but looking at the code the new chunking feature is by default turned on at 90MB

Do you have a reverse proxy server?
A network security appliance?
Using the free tier of service from Cloudflare?

If so, you have probably found that drop-offs above a certain fixed size always fail to upload to your ZendTo server.

Well, with the latest beta ZendTo can automatically break the upload into "chunks" that are small enough to get through your bottleneck. The end users won't notice any difference at all, except that they can now successfully drop-off files much bigger than they could before.

The maximum size of each chunk is set by a new preferences.php setting 'uploadChunkSize', which should be set slightly less than the maximum limit imposed by your bottleneck. You will quickly find the biggest value that works for your site.

There is more information at https://zend.to/beta.php<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/zend.to/beta.php__;!!BYEqwblc0Q!iiR4l4o5IlogoEDzCuCjbVdmgqwjjoBC3lrvWb8IF-SlX97_BDkrun_CJLZVJh8gs58KRQ$> and in the comments just above the setting in preferences.php.
Just be sure to run /opt/zendto/bin/upgrade before looking for the new setting.

I would be enormously grateful if people could test this new feature and let me know if it works or not!

Cheers,


Jules
