Question

I have this code to download a file, but on sourceforge.net sever there is a 5 seconds delay before file starts to download (You can see it if you try to load this link in browser). And I have file with zero size after script is done. How can I download this file? Thanx in advance!

$url = 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gnucash/gnucash%20%28stable%29/2.4.9/gnucash-2.4.9-setup.exe';
$ch = curl_init($url);
$fp = fopen('/home/content/11/8564211/html/'.substr($url,strrpos($url,'/'),strlen($url)), 'w'); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);

You can try this:

$url = 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gnucash/gnucash%20%28stable%29/2.4.9/gnucash-2.4.9-setup.exe';
$ch = curl_init($url);
$fp = fopen('/home/content/11/8564211/html/'.substr($url,strrpos($url,'/'),strlen($url)), 'w'); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
