Problem: Unable to download files larger than 60 KB from a UFS folder

 

Windows 2003 SP1 and UnifiedFileSystem

We have discovered problems running EPiServer4 under Windows 2003 Server with SP1 installed. 

Symptoms:

Files larger than approximately 60k can not be opened through EPiServer's UnifiedFileSystem. 

The source of the error seems to be within the OS/.NET environment. We have reported this problem to Microsoft and they have confirmed that they can reproduce the error in a non-EPiServer ASP.NET environment. Investigation is currently underway. 

We still recommend the use of SP1, but if you intend to use Unified File System you need to get the hotfix from Microsoft.
