You need to specify a content length as it says:

PHP: header - Manual

Send a raw HTTP header

Thanks for your reply

But i could not understand the php comments

The working url is : http://examples.oreilly.com/jenut2/2...n/examples.zip(examples.oreilly.com/jenut2/2nd_edition/examples.zip)

The url i am facing problem is:http://sourceforge.net/project/downl...a.zip&99595756(sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=40712&use_mirror=jaist&filename=hibernate-3.2.5.ga.zip&99595756)

Could you clarify me futher how to give the php arguments

Thanks

You need to use header to specify the content length of the file, e.g.
header('Content-type: application/zip');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file_name.'"');
header("Content-length: $file_size");

This isn't an NSIS problem though so you should really ask on a PHP forum.

inetc plug-in supports http 1.1 (chunked reply) and not requires content_length header. But download progress bar will be inactive this case.
