The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Large Image File Download Fails from specific site

Asked by LingerLonger in Web Images, Internet Service Providers (ISP), Cisco PIX Firewall

Tags: Internet, Cisco ASA, Image Download

Need some help here.
I've recently migrated a site from an MPLS link that ultimately fed out a SmartCity Internet circuit to a local circuit provided by PowerOne. The network goes through a Cisco ASA5520 to go out the PowerOne circuit.
The Marketing Department uses the website http://www.123rf.com, a subscription-based royalty free image site, to download images that they use for marketing materials. Each image is available in a number of formats - Blog, Web, Print, Ultra High, and Mega High. The resolution/quality/size of each increases as you move up that scale.
The issue we have presently is that the Print, Ultra High, and Mega High images fail to download, returning a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error almost immediately after clicking the associated Download link. Firefox blows up as well. The Blog and Web files download fine.
Additional notes/things I've investigated -
* It is not just large files in general. I was able to download the installer for OpenOffice.Org's productivity suite (150MB) without an issue, and on the first attempt. By contrast, the "Print" quality image at 123rf.com of most images is in the 12MB Raw file size.
* It is not browser specific or OS specific. The issue was first reported by a Macintosh/Firefox combination, but has also been replicated on XP/Firefox, XP/IE, W2K/IE.
* The issue started after we moved to the ASA/PowerOne combination. This worked fine when routing through the MPLS to SmartCity.
* The ASA doesn't look like it's causing a problem. I have attached log information from it, Debugging Level, that looks identical for a successful download of one of the smaller files as compared to a failed download of a larger file.
* The Support people for 123rf.com say everything is working fine from their end (don't they always)?

Thoughts? Looking for assistance on who to pressure - Web Site Support, Cisco, PowerOne.
Thanks.
