Your symptoms look like exceeding the cpu time for a php script.

Have a look at the CPU and memory limits set for php scripts in php.ini. Also consider if you really need the facility of this script to "hide" the location of downloads. There's a setting on the admin page which forces the script to use browser redirects rather than server based read/writes. It will significantly reduce cpu overhead, but at the cost of making the location of your downloads visible at the time the redirect is executed.

who has a live demo of the new version?

I do: http://www.buffy-boards.com/local_links.php?

That seems to have been it... Thank you! :D Merry Christmas everyone!

Version 1.45 is now the supported release, see first post in thread.

NB: slight changes in installation procedure (a couple of new files added).

good work andrew! i respect the speed you got the newer more secure version out by.
i think everyone should update due to security issues in earlier versions.

Awesome, Andrew, thanks very much for your efforts.
I think I have found a bug, however.
Click on the 'What's Hot' and What's New' drop-down links and the [-Fav] option appears against all the links instead of [+Fav].

Cheers! Great work!

You're right of course - and what's more I'd already spotted it but forgotten...

Please can you unzip and upload the attached file and then re-run step 2 of the installation process (templates). When you confirm, then I'll update the zip file.

I'm not happy with the page sequence as one moves between what's hot/mark favourite/back to base category, but the full fix requires more work and will have to be in the next release.

Hi Andrew,
I did as instructed and it now displays [+Fav] against them all. Even against those already in your favourites list.
A minor point, I guess, but as a programmer, something I would notice :)
It's a great hack.
