I'm having a difficult time getting a download link to a 7zip file to work. I have uploaded a 3.7GB file into /sites/default/files/downloads/file.7z.001 and when I paste the URL into a browser, Drupal comes up and reports 'page not found'. However, with files that end in .zip or .png or whatever, it starts the download.

Does anyone have a method for linking to any file on your server without Drupal trying to resolve the URL? I just want /sites/default/files/downloads/file.7z.001 to start downloading, not return 'page not found'

Thanks!

The problem is likely down to permissions. If your webserver can't read the file then it just ignores that it's there at all. Try chown-ing and chmod-ing the file to the same as the other files in that folder.
