Sounds like maybe a timeout issue based on destination but maybe a browser cache issue as well. The "private mode" adds a lot of overhead that you really don't want. I recommend that you reverse that option

noooooooooo. you have reason, I read about it and it's true. The only problem, a little problem, is that I have only 2 gb of files, all in the "files" folder that is my system path for drupal. Since I'm using the disknode module,because it allows to select files from server and attach them to more nodes, and it works only in private mode, I should:

1. download all files into my pc.
2. create a subdirectory of files called "private" and then, render

it "private", it is possible, I saw some instructions about it.

3. upload all these files again, one node at the time... in that

different subdirectory ok, I will think about it, it seems terrible, but it was a great mistake I have done when drupal for me was only a game. thank you again.

I don't know about steps 1 and 3 but step 2 can be handled by a .htaccess in that directory. You may be able to accomplish the rename of path by creating a batch process that will node_load(), change the data, and node_save(). You'll have to give it a try in your development server and decide which is best.
