FINAL JAVA Help

[BloodWolfJW]

So, my first project is almost ready to ship, but I still have one last problem. Whenever I download a file, it limits the size to 10KB, from any URL. I've checked the URL, checked the file, reuploaded, but JAVA refuses to download more than 10KBs. Standby for Code:

/** Author: BloodWolfJW
* Project: ROMBox Lite v0.0.1
**/
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class ROMBox_Lite {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner ROM = new Scanner (System.in);
String Username;
Username = System.getProperty ("user.name");

System.out.print ("Hello! Welcome to ROMBox Lite. Please Enter the Desired ROM to Download: ");
String ROMBox = ROM.nextLine();
System.out.println ("");

System.out.print ("Now, Please Enter the Desired Name of the File: ");
String Filename = ROM.nextLine();
System.out.println ("");

try
{

System.out.print ("Connecting to the ROMBox Server...\n \n");

URL ROMDownload = new URL("http://www.fileden.com/files/2011/10/9/3206639/ROMs/" + ROMBox + ".zip");
ROMDownload.openConnection();
InputStream reader = ROMDownload.openStream();

System.out.print ("Connected! Downloading File...\n \n");

FileOutputStream writer = new FileOutputStream("C:/Users/" + Username + "/Downloads/" + Filename + ".zip");
byte[] buffer = new byte[153600];
int bytesRead = 0;

while ((bytesRead = reader.read(buffer)) > 0)

{writer.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);}

System.out.print ("Done! Please Enjoy Your Downloaded File!");}

catch (MalformedURLException e){}
catch (IOException e){}

}

}

What needs fixing?

It looks like your while loop is exiting too early before the whole file has been read in.

According to the API, InputStreamReader's "read" method returns -1 when the end of the stream is reached, however your code currently exits the loop when that value is zero.

Try changing it to

while ((bytesRead = reader.read(buffer)) != -1)

(see http://www.roseindia.net/java/example/java/io/file-url-download.shtml )

Have you checked what the URL you are connecting to actually contains? Try opening it in a text editor.

Given the size of the file, I think it actually downloads an HTML page where the link to the actual downloads is.

Actually this makes far more sense My suggestion would result in a file of 150KB, not 10KB. Oops.

Neither of your suggestions worked, I'm afraid. The link did download the file from Office 2010, and neither did the -1. Back to the drawing board!

GOT IT! In the end, it was the link. Thanks for your help!
