Author How to tell if a file download completed?

I have a large install file (an exe) on my web server that people
download and install from. Looking at my log files, I see a lot of
people downloading it, but no way to tell for sure if they completed the
download or cancelled out before it completed. Is there any function in
PHP that would allow the web server to send the file and detect a
completion or cancellation? Or perpahs a javascript/PHP method?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Do your files keep track of the file sizes that have been moved?
