If a download takes too much time, I see 2 possibilities

  • You can increase the max execution time of your script. That's not the best solution as the script will still time out for too big files but that's the simplest solution (there may be performance considerations unrelated to your question). To do so :

ini_set('max_execution_time', 5*60); // 5 minutes

if (file_exists($file)) { Yii::$app->response->xSendFile($file); }
