Problem with the file download.php
Posted Oct 13, 2012 - 9:54 AM:
Hello Paul
Here'sa message from myhost.
Are you awareof this problemon othersites?
This is a messageto alert you thatthe script /home/milouch1/public_html/articles/download.phptries to runloopmakingyour web hostinginaccessible.We recommend that youcheck theinstalledpluginsandmodules.
We have temporarilydisabled thescript /home/milouch1/public_html/articles/download.php(CHMOD000)to ensure thatyour web hostingisinaccessible.To reactivate it,it would suffice toreplace theCHMODthis fileto 644.
Odd, I'm not seeing any problems with downloading attachments. Maybe a particular article that has something strange going on with one of its attachments. Without the query string there's no way to know which attachment it was.
I can't see anything that could produce a loop. Maybe a huge file attached could cause a memory problem leading to the CPU use, not sure.
Do you have the "Download category attachments zip" and "Download article attachments zip" switches on or off? Those would be my most likely guesses for trouble with download.php because they could use large amounts of memory if there are a lot of files being added to the zip.

The two switches are always off.
I just checked the size of the images, the average is 12 kb, which is just a 90 kb, I do not think this is huge.
I'll ask my host if it can provide the query that caused the problem.
