Yes, that's normal and how the program works. It duplicates itself but is then erased. This prevents people from directly linking to the file.

what would happen if 4 users wants to download the same file at the same time?. will it duplicate 4 times?

what about using fpassthru ?

As i understood it makes more then 35 sql queries on one page. So will you work on decreasing their number?

We're working on this for v6 (also putting files in multiple directories (with an option for storing them outside the forums directory) instead of all files in one).

Not on normal pages :)
You only get those numbers if you are having a lot of subcategories as we aren't caching the category structure yet. So the amount *can* be high, but as the category table isn't that heavy, the queries aren't slow and the page also isn't.
But we are working on it: storing the category structure in the datastore would be better.

Suddenly, members are getting "ERROR: File not found" on just some files they want to download. The files are physically there in the downloads folder.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks in anticipation

Great mod guys... It's working well so far. Had a few issues converting some old downloads that I had, plugging it into your mod... But so far, so good. I've clicked Installed.

Couple of things that I'm (and my users) are looking for:

Search downloads by user. I know that I can go to the person's profile and see what they've uploaded, but I'd like to add a button image to their postbit if they have files that they've upped. This button would take them to the result of a search for files that they have uploaded. Thoughts on how to do this?
RSS feeds for categories. I have users that would like to watch for new files. Anyway to create RSS feeds that displays most recent uploads by category as well as an overall most recent uploads? I could do a work-around by creating a thread per upload, but, why, when comments for each upload is available.
I mentioned it before - no one responded... What about using one of the free flash-based uploaders out there - doesn't have all the PHP upload limitations, plus it gives visual feedback on the upload process... And, it's not FTP based.
How do I set the default download button to be used when viewing a category? Currently it shows the collapse button, and I've created a much better button that I would like to use. I thought it was the ecdownloads_download_pic variable in the phrase table (doesn't seem to be exposed anywhere on the interfaces), but it didn't change the image used when I changed the name to the new image I wanted to use.

Once again, great mod! Thanks for all your support!

Hey Folks

I had this installed and working great and then added a new skin to the site (style) Now when I try and download something It tells me I've excided my Daily Limit. I'm ADMIN and have checked all the permissions for DownloadsII and have NO restrictions on group and checked all the settings. I did find that I had to re-import a lot of my other products to get them to work in this style so My question is ....

If I re-install the DownloadsII Product will it Kill all the Files and catagories I already have in there, this really would not be good... Is there another way to tell it to work with a new style without re-installing?

Thanks to ALL ...

Termi

I am sure this may have been answered but I haven't found it. When linking to a file such as on downloads.com the url being huge this mod does not accept the entire url. Is there a fix for this? I know the original -> Minatica.be Downloads is working fine with this method so evidently there is an edit I can make somewhere to accommodate this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Add one more thing to the list - resumable downloads: Some code along these lines:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

function dl_file_resume($file){



    //First, see if the file exists

    if (!is_file($file)) { die("<b>404 File not found!</b>"); }

   

    //Gather relevent info about file

    $len = filesize($file);

    $filename = basename($file);

    $file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));

   

    //This will set the Content-Type to the appropriate setting for the file

    switch( $file_extension ) {

        case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;

        case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break;

        case "mp3": $ctype="audio/mpeg"; break;

        case "mpg":$ctype="video/mpeg"; break;

        case "avi": $ctype="video/x-msvideo"; break;

        default: $ctype="application/force-download";

    }

   

    //Begin writing headers

    header("Cache-Control:");

    header("Cache-Control: public");

   

    //Use the switch-generated Content-Type

    header("Content-Type: $ctype");

    if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE")) {

        # workaround for IE filename bug with multiple periods / multiple dots in filename

        # that adds square brackets to filename - eg. setup.abc.exe becomes setup[1].abc.exe

        $iefilename = preg_replace('/\./', '%2e', $filename, substr_count($filename, '.') - 1);

        header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$iefilename\"");

    } else {

        header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");

    }

    header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");

   

    $size=filesize($file);

    //check if http_range is sent by browser (or download manager)

    if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {

        list($a, $range)=explode("=",$_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE']);

        //if yes, download missing part

        str_replace($range, "-", $range);

        $size2=$size-1;

        $new_length=$size2-$range;

        header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content");

        header("Content-Length: $new_length");

        header("Content-Range: bytes $range$size2/$size");

    } else {

        $size2=$size-1;

        header("Content-Range: bytes 0-$size2/$size");

        header("Content-Length: ".$size);

    }

    //open the file

    $fp=fopen("$file","rb");

    //seek to start of missing part

    fseek($fp,$range);

    //start buffered download

    while(!feof($fp)){

        //reset time limit for big files

        set_time_limit(0);

        print(fread($fp,1024*8));

        flush();

        ob_flush();

    }

    fclose($fp);

    exit;

}

?>

That's pretty strange. I don't know how a new style could cause such an error (caused by the DownloadsII PHP code, it hasn't anything to do with the style normally). Are you really sure about the settings of the limits?

If you reinstall (or better said: uninstall and install), all the database stuff will be removed during the uninstall, so you lose all of your data (except uploaded files in your downloads folder). I suggest you to import the product XML again (without uninstalling first!) with the "Allow overwrite" option on. Then the templates etc. are added again to all styles (but it doesn't overwrite template modifications, but that's not the problem).

That hasn't anything to do with the demo as we are having the same limitation there.

But it's easy to get rid off :)
It's no database limitation (it's a text field, so plenty of space), but an HTML limitation (the input field for links has got a maxlength of 250 characters. Just edit the downloads_file_addit template and change the maxlength in the following part of the code:

HTML Code:

<input name="link" type="text" size="40" maxlength="250" <if condition="$file['link']==1">value="{$_POST['url']}"</if> />

@Kingster: We are working on v6, but at the moment I'm a bit busy (I've got examns at university in januari). There's already a lot of progress in it (more search options, extensions management -like the vB attachments-, default category sort options and a new category admin, ...). RSS, the search, ... are already suggested, so we try to integrate as much as things, but it's also slowing down a lot. I won't get to a release before the end of my exams, but I really want to finish it finally as we are talking already too long about the new version.

Strange about the category image thing. It's a hardcoded thing, but if there's no image, it's using the ecdownloads_download_pic defined image (I know, not that nice, but we wanted a default image everyone has got). Also note that the image should be placed in your styles buttons folder, that's probably your problem.
