I think I already know the answer to this question but I'm gonna ask it anyway.

Could it be possible to have the default upload directory be an external host? So when someone adds a download and uploads the file from his pc, could it be that it's being uploaded to another webhost/ftp/whatever instead of the host where the forum is located?

No, that's not possible. For v6 we are planning the possibility to use safer, non web, storage locations, but not external ones.

not with external?
like we got 2 webhost....if we put material in 2nd host ? we cant link them in the downloads?

I mean on another server. If you got two sites on one server, you can use another one if your server configuration is allowing this. But there's no feature to send files using FTP to another server, that's what I mean :)

Any other similar mod for 3.6.5? This just doesn't seem to be working too well for me.

Ok thanks for the quick answer, it's what I thought hehe. One other thing which might be need. At this moment I've got 2 servers. One for my site (site itself takes up all the available bandwidth) and one for my downloads (3gb of downloads, 400+ gb of bandwidth). Most categories don't look that neat without those thumbnail previews. Is there a way to add a feature in DownloadsII that you can also add thumbnail previews using a different server or for example ImageShack. I guess the last one should work coz they automaticly make thumbnails. I think a lot of people would like to see this coz screenshots just take up a lot of unnecessary bandwidth.

Could you look into making something for this? Would be a really neat feature and it will make many DownloadsII structure look way better.

Can someone help me. Once i import files from a directory on my FTP is it then safe to remove those files from that directory? i have noticed all the files i have imported are in a seperate folder.

Yes, you can remove those files. During the import, the files are copied from the import directory to the downloads directory.

There's also LDM, but probably you will have the same problems with your server with it (and other mods). Can you answer my server question, maybe we can help you :)

Works Great
