  • @emptymind, if you didn’t already know WooCommerce has a plugin that works with Amazon S3.

    That is awesome! I will definitely be playing with that option tomorrow.

    I’ll keep reporting back to this thread and maybe if you end up using WooCommerce my efforts will lay some ground work for you and repay the favor.

    Thanks much!

    All, I did successfully get it working for filesize 230MB and under. Over that and it craps out while the file is downloading, which is most likely related to the timeouts of the shared GoDaddy servers, which makes emptymind’s post all the more intreging.

    I also had the following settings in WooCommerce:

    Enable Guest Checkout: Off
    File Download Method: Force Downloads
    Downloads Require Login: On
    Force Secure Checkout: Off

    With these settings I had very consistent results with file sizes 230MB and under.

    Still not there on the 850MB, but its better and once I hear back from emptymind if I am understanding him correctly, this may be solved for me for the extremely cheap file storage fee at Amazon S3.

    @emptymind Are you saying you just keep your files on the Amazon s3 storage then link to that storage for your file source?

    i.e. in WooCommerce set my digital product link to the Amazon s3 storage location of the source file, but still use all my WooCommerce functionality including download limits and expiration’s.

    Appreciate the feedback!

    I’m in the same boat. GoDaddy hosted, 850mb video product to sell. The purchase goes through fine, but no download at all.

    I’ve tried with Redirect and Force Download and, of course, we know the x-SendFile won’t work with shared GoDaddy, all to no avail.

    I also set up with a small >1mb .mp4 test file and even that won’t download. When the link is clicked the browser loads it up like it wants to play the file instead of initiating a download. Not sure what is up with that yet.

    I’m on this daily and am happy to keep this thread appraised of anything I figure out.

    if you guys have anything new to report since your last post I would appreciate the info.

    Thanks!
