Description of my issue:

Hello,

I've been using AkeebaBackup Core for years and it's always worked great. About a week or so ago I upgraded to AkeebaBackup Pro and now I'm having an issue where the backup .jpa file shows as 150MB on the server but it only downloads the first 69.9 MB of the file. I've tried running the configuration wizard and gone with the default settings but I'm still not able to download the full backup files no matter how many times I run the backup.

Thanks,
Matt

As the message reads when you try to download a file through the back-end interface of Akeeba Backup:
Downloading backup files through your browser can result under certain circumstances to corrupt or partial downloads and subsequent restoration failure.


That's why we instruct you to use FTP in Binary transfer mode when downloading backups. You should really do that instead of downloading through the browser. The download is partial due to server and bandwidth limitations. There's nothing either of us can do about it.
