Hi my download function.
protected void downloadFunction(string fileName)
{
string filePath = @"D:SoftwareFiles";
LogMessageToFile("Download started " + filePath + fileName);
byte[] array = File.ReadAllBytes(filePath + fileName);
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/x-newton-compatible-pkg";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename=" + fileName);
Response.BinaryWrite(array);
Response.End();
}
When handling filesize of 20, 200mb no problem.
When handling 1gb file, an exception is thrown:
Overflow or underflow in the arithmetic operation.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.ArithmeticException: Overflow or underflow in the arithmetic operation.
What to do?

Method 1
My guess is that you’re running out of memory in the byte[] array.
You can try breaking the file down and reading it in chunks.
I found a code example from a Google search to get you started:
C# file downloader AKA Response.BinaryWrite

FileSize = MyFileStream.Length;
byte[] Buffer = new byte[(int)FileSize];
MyFileStream.Read(Buffer, 0, (int)MyFileStream.Length);
MyFileStream.Close();
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = contentType;
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(filename, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8));
HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(Buffer);
