We are streaming a PDF file out of an ASPX page in IIS 5 using Response.WriteFile so the user does not need permissions to the directory where the files are stored. This works great when the user is on a fairly fast network connection or when the PDF is not too large. However, for users on slow connections that try to download a large PDF (+30meg), they receive a "the server reset the connection" error message after about 15 minutes of downloading. We tried increasing the Server.ScriptTimeout of the ASPX but without success probably because the ASPX itself executes fairly quickly, it's just the data stream download to the client that is taking so long. What is causing the timeout and can we increase it?
