ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH when downloading audio

Question

I am trying to get background music that works in my browser game. It works fine, but in Chrome I often cut music, and this error appears:

Failed to load resource: net :: ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH

I looked at the Network tab and saw the downloaded audio file, as it should be, with the status of partial content 206, until it hits this error and stops.

Reload the page usually gives the same result, but at a different point in the track. I haven't run into this problem in IE yet, it looks like it only affected Chrome.

Any suggestions on what might happen?

Answer 1

Speeding up Apache timeout installation.

Basically, Chrome was “too smart,” just loading it fast enough to stay ahead of the buffer, and Apache was getting bored.
