Working on this problem still - the error code is 406, google tells me it is from joomla mod_security and maybe a htaccess problem, i feel i am getting close to the solution anyone want to help me take a shortcut

Solved problem and got download working - not very happy with it, it was joomla mod_security, if you put the code below into .htaccess you basically destroy the protection, don't know where to go from here, is there a patch needed or do you throw caution to the wind.

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
SecFilterCheckURLEncoding Off
</IfModule>

I've heard of mod_security (it is running on this server) and Joomla but I've never heard of "Joomla mod_security". ionFiles runs fine on thousands of Joomla installations and has never once been used to compromise a system in over 2 years... So no, we do not "throw caution to the wind".

sorry - it was meant to mean do I (me) throw caution to the wind, the security system is there for a reason and using the htaccess code,will bypass it. But thanks you have answered my question. You are right, mod_security is a server issue and not a part of joomla or ionfiles, it could be safe mode or something like that. I will talk to my web hoster, but now i know where the problem is!

Sounds good. If there is anyway I can assist just let me know.
