According to the PHP manual, scripts are aborted if the client
disconnects. Therefore assuming you're using a PHP script to download the
file if it gets to the line after readfile() (or some such code) then the
client connection is still active and therefore the download completed.
However, you can turn this functionality off so the script always
completes whether the client disconnects or not. So it may be best to use
connection_aborted() to see if the client is still connected.
You can read more about it here:
