error while downloading file in java -java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

Question

myClient = new Socket(address,port);
   myClient.setSoTimeout(MyFileManager.TIME_OUT);
   in = ne         


        

Answer 1

Why do you think that this line returns the number of bytes in the stream??

long size = in.readLong(); //get the size

You should do in.read() until it returns -1.

Answer 2

I think that the loop should be something like:

 for (int i=0; i<size; i++)...

Since streams are 0 based.

Also, you might want to keep reading until you hit the EOF rather than reading a specific number of bytes. See this tutorial to learn how :)
