limit downloads per ip address

Hello there,

I understand that .htaccess file and dl.php files should be placed in the folder that contains the file I want to put a download limit on.  Could you please advise me about where to enter your code to collect databse. I am new so I don't know this one.

Also, if there is any wording in this that needs to be replaced please. 

Thanks

Do you know anything about programming? I suppose not, so the best thing for you would be to get a script from hotscripts (or any other similar script directory) and use it for this.

Nikolas,

You are quite right I know nothing about programming.

Still, I have managed to work out that your dl.html file contains all the codes I have mentioned above. So that is resolved because that's where they go however, I have another problem: Should

$cs_conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'db_user', 'password');
mysql_select_db('db_name', $cs_conn);

be replaced by

$cs_conn = mysql_connect('my FTP server', 'my user name on the server', 'my password on the server');
mysql_select_db('host directory on the server', $cs_conn);

?

Or it should be something else.

please advise. thanks

Exactly. You should replace those

Thanks for your reply. I have replaced the fields as mentioned above but it has not worked. When I click to download the a file it gives an error saying 'The web page cannot be found' HTTP 404 not found. Is there anything else that I need to do? please help. thanks

I can't help you with that because this has to do with the script you are using. You should contact the script programmer for help.

How can I contact 'Olaf' about this enquiry?

Wow thanks for the help guys..very helpful I also working on this..

I will tell Olaf to check this thread ;)
