Users were reporting that mp3 files would download only the first several
seconds in the browser rather than the complete file. I noticed that the
server was sending the data (via the wp-content/blogs.php file) as chunked
encoding, but was not passing a content-length header. After the first
chunk, the file stopped downloading. I added a <code>@header( 'Content-
Length: ' . filesize($file) );</code> into the blogs.php file and the
problem is solved, although headers now report that chunked encoding is no
longer enabled.
