Bug Fatal Error when downloading.

[Mv.c9]

I get this error on one of my files that is larger than 60MB, my limit is 64, the upload is comepleted fine but i get this:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 8650752) (tried to allocate 63325438 bytes) in /home/mvc9/public_html/gamemodscore.org/dbtech/downloads/modules/downloadModule.php on line 169

You'll need to increase your memory limit in your php.ini file.

since im using a shared server. and my current host limit is 64 MB, what would be the true limit with this addon ? and why would it need more than the original file ?

Because vBulletin also uses memory generating the page etc.

2 things that stood out to me:

Firstly, can you check your host is actually using the correct math for 64mb - e.g a mb being 1024b and not 1000

Secondly "allocated 8650752" Suggests that much memory is being used up elsewhere and your file 63325438 then takes it over the 64mb limit - without knowing exactly how your server is set up and what limitations your host has placed where it's kinda guesswork though

The error message you posted above states that there was roughly 8.25 megabytes allocated for the upload. 55.75 megabytes is being used somewhere else before the upload even happens.
