You need to provide more information. Do you use some application to serve downloads?

if you're using dynamic links to serve the download, like:

http://site.com/download.php?id=3 or http://site.com/download.php?file=worddoc.doc

then just take the files size (before you initiate the download to their browser) and store it in a database table for their account. add to this number every time they make a download, but first do a check to make sure their total download size isn't greater than 5gb

p.s. hope it is not to late to post a reply Smiley

Can PHP detect when the download started and is completed successfully? This is the command to be executed on the user's computers ...
