Title: Re: URL Access Scripting file size limitations? (Leopard)
It is possible that the download is timing out. Could there be another error?
Try this:
With timeout of 600 seconds
try
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download "http://user:email@hidden/file.jpg" to <local folder> replacing yes
end tell
on error errText number errNum
display dialog errText
end
End timeout
The dialog may tell you what the error is.

Hi all, I've been using AppleScript's URL Access Scripting to download images from the admin area of a "print your digital photos" website.
The relevant folder on the website requires authentication, so I send the username and password in the URL:
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download "http://user:email@hidden/file.jpg" to <local folder> replacing yes
end tell
This has been working fine for a while, however recently we've increased the maximum file upload size on the website to 50megs and problems have started to occur.
It would seem that URL Access Scripting can download files up to about 25 megs, but with large files it gives up half way through. Does anyone know if there is a set limit to the size of file URL Access Scripting can handle?
We're on Leopard (not snow Leopard) by the way.
Many thanks for any help you can provide,
James
