Hello everyone.
Help solve the problem - files weighing more than 30 megabytes are not downloaded from the cloud.The file tries to download several times and eventually writes a download error.
My configuration:
Rocky Linux 8.9.
Seafile server v9.0.10.
The cloud is used through the browser.
A reverse proxy is also used.
I will attach any log or configuration files on request.
Do you get some of the file but just not all of it, or does it fail before you get anything? Do you get an error message? Does the reverse proxy’s log have an error? If the reverse proxy is nginx or apache you might want to compare your configuration to the one in the manual to see if any significant difference stands out. HTTPS with Nginx - Seafile Admin Manual
Now files over 30 megabytes are also not downloaded (there were 100+).
The file is trying to download, after several attempts, an error appears when downloading the file.
Im use nginx.
I can’t figure out which specific log will contain the file download error.

I just compared your nginx to mine. It looks pretty similar, excep in the “location /seafhttp {” section I have these 2 lines extra:
# Hopefully will fix large file uploads through web interface failing after a 10s of MB
proxy_request_buffering off;
I’m no expert, but I think what that does to tell nginx to just immediately pass data on. Without it, I think nginx tries to buffer uploads (and maybe downloads) in a temp file until it has the entire file, and then it passes that file on to seafile. For me /tmp would fill up, and then the transfer would fail. I had this problem on uploads so maybe it’s unrelated, but it feels worth trying to add that.
If that doesn’t work, you could try to bypass the reverse proxy and talk to seafile directly by editing the download link to replace http://ip_address/seafhttp with http://ip_address:8082/seafhttp. You might have to do that with curl or wget directly from that server since it’s likely that the seafile ports are only available from that host, and not on the network. If that fails too then at least we know not to worry about the nginx config.
Also check you nginx logs. For me errors related to this would show up in /var/log/nginx/error.log or /var/log/nginx/seafhttp.error.log.
Thanks for your reply.
Added this line to my nginx file.
I will test it.
