multiple downloads with download manager

[Free WordPress Themes]

Hi,

I have a problem with file downloads via http and clients using a download manager.

people using settings like multiple channels to download a file faster.

with the result that these downloads eating more bandwidth than the size from a file is there a way to provide only one connection for each IP or something?

I know there are download sites which allow max 2 downloads at the same time. how do they do this?

Of course there is

You can do this by monitoring who is downloading using a database for it, and allow someone to download only if his/her ip is not in the database.

To make this script accurate you will also need to execute this : (php)

ignore_user_abort(true);

I was actually looking for a solution like this one:

http://modules.apache.org/search?id=241

maybe an option that doesn't need some installment, is there maybe something possible with cURL?

In that case you can use this module with htaccess in your download directory this way :

Code:

<IfModule mod_limitipconn.c>
    <Location /downloadDirectory>
        MaxConnPerIP 1
    </Location>
  </IfModule>

  </IfModule>

yeah great example thanks, is this the only way to check if this module is available?

This module is not available in default installations of Apache.

You should download the source and compile it, or search for a repository that has it.

These days a customers website has generated a large amount of traffic because a client site has offered some “bigger” file downloads to their visitors. Normally there is nothing wrong with this kind of downloads on most of the websites, ...

Nick, I created a script using the IP address and a database to check downloads what about this function:

ignore_user_abort(true);

why do I need this?

look people using a DL manager are opening several channels to download a file and after the file is downloaded the other files are only partly downloaded.

You need the ignore_user_abort, because otherwise if the user aborts or the connection stops, the ip wont be deleted from the database.
