alright, then let's take a look at your code... how does it work? do you store your files in a folder inside your public-directory and filename points to that location? or do you store your files inside your database? what exactly is Movie.file and Movie.filename?
the following line throws me off (don't understand it): render :text => @movie.file what could help is a look at send_file: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Streaming.html#M000401 or even the improvement x_send_file: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoSendFilesFast --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
