Sending files to the browser

[RicksAtWork]

I am trying to send an mp3 to a browser. However, it takes about 20 seconds before anything appears, and then file appears all of a sudden in blocks.

How can I make teh app so the response is sent immediately in chunks?

This is my code so far:

FileStream oFile = new FileStream(context.Server.MapPath("~") + "/Audio/UploadedAudio/" + filename, FileMode.Open);
objResponse.Charset = "";
objResponse.ContentType = "audio/mpeg3";


BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(oFile);
for (long l = 0; l < oFile.Length; l++)
{
objResponse.OutputStream.WriteByte(br.ReadByte());

}

oFile.Close();

This is my second attempt - this seems to kill my server completely....

Any ideas where I'm going wrong??

string filePath = context.Server.MapPath("~") + "/Audio/UploadedAudio/" + filename;

FileStream oFile = new FileStream (filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

try
{
objResponse.Buffer=false;

BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(oFile);

long filePtr=0;
int maxBufferSize=1024;
int bufferSize=maxBufferSize;
long fileSize = oFile.Length;
byte[] buffer=new byte[maxBufferSize];

while (filePtr<fileSize)
{
//determine if we have reached the end of the file

if (fileSize<filePtr+bufferSize)
{
bufferSize=(int)(fileSize-filePtr);
}
else
{
bufferSize=maxBufferSize;
}


//br.Read(buffer,filePtr,bufferSize);
buffer = br.ReadBytes(bufferSize);

for (int i=0; i<bufferSize; i++)
{
objResponse.OutputStream.WriteByte(buffer);

}


filePtr+=bufferSize;
}


}
finally
{
oFile.Close();
}
