How to prevent the download manager from splitting the download into parts/chunks/segments?

Question

Nginx

Good day, habraman. When downloading a file (nginx), the download manager (no matter which one) tries to create a bunch of parallel downloads, while in the nginx settings it is forbidden (limit_conn) and the logs are quickly filled with warnings and errors about trying to download in several streams.
Maybe there is some tricky header to explicitly tell the manager to download in one stream?

Answer 1

I don’t know if this option is suitable, but you can disable Range and Range-Request as described here: http://habrahabr.ru/post/127029/ . A side effect - it will not be possible to continue the download - only again.

Answer 2

Specify response headers
Accept-Ranges: none
see www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html section 14.5 Accept-Ranges

Answer 3

If it is X-Accel-Redirect (controlled download), then you can block the number of connections of a particular session for a minute on the side of the upload script. I had experience organizing such a solution.
