That is really strange. I am using PhpMyAdmin 2.11.9.6 on Linux hosting.

While I am Exporting databases using "gzipped" compression in Mozilla, I am getting files which have size of uncompressed database, but they seems to be downloading in incredible speed (10 times quicker than is possible using my ISP).

So at the end:

  • for database of 10M size I am getting 10M gzip
  • downloaded in miniseconds
  • it has indeed shown 10M size on drive
  • it is corrupted

Zip compression is working just fine (I am getting file with cca 1M size with fine content of compressed database)

And the weirdest thing: that is happening for Mozilla Firefox (13.0.1) only, Internet Explorer 9 is downloading correct gzipped files...

Any hint?
