Good to hear - I'll take another look at the save as/open questions (went round and round this a year or so ago because of Adobe Acobat's habit of stealing the browser) - the thumbnail generation also needs some more work at some time, but am not sure about the quality issue - the image is resample down to the specified size and I don't know if there is any control on the resampling method.

Andy, is there any way to hide the input fields for remote files and thumbs? I know you can disable remote linking in the admin section but the fields are still visible in the upload section.

In other words, you want a clean option for 'uploads only'?

So the options would be
- No uploads, only links/downloads
- Uploads and links/downloads
- Uploads only

Any other sensible splits?

Exactly. Right now the deny linking works but with the spaces for the URL's still visible, the end user doesn't know its disabled until he actually tried to use it. I think these changes would be really useful - and maybe a way to be able to "Label" the description field above each input field? This would allow a greater level of customization towards the targeted use. For instance, mine could say "Browse the Skin to Upload" where other sites could have something completely different.

Strange, I have the naming problem back the the images I upload. Are they renamed as they are stored? :ninja:

All uploads are renamed as they are stored. With version 2.1.0, the origiinal name was thrown away, but with 2.1.1 betas the original name is retained and used when downloaded again. If you have uploads in your database from 2.1.0, their original names have gone for good, even if you upgrade to 2.1.1. But new ones should be ok. Let me know if this is not the case.

I installed on my vb test site the beta one and so far I haven't found any bug. I also tried with Internet Download Manager (IDM) version 5.01 and there is no resume supported. It's understandable because the link is hidden.

The file download and limit work great, I'm wonder if I can apply download limit in A category and bandwidth limit to B category, I guess it would take a lot of coding. Another question is that if I have too many links, say 10,000 (now I already have 1000), would anti-leech link affect website perfomance? And how bad would that be?

I will report any bug that I found, so far so good, thanks so much Andrew. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Good, thanks.

I'll take a look. I think this will probably have to wait.

The impact depends on how many users are simultaneously trying to obtain downloads which are physically stored on your site or (worse) have to be read through your site. The number of entries in your database is not really relevant.

Thanks - and to you too

sorry ive been away for a bit.. whats the happenings ? any news on anti leeching music?

I think that's exactly what it was then. I uploaded a lot of stuff last night - all went without a hitch! New thumbs look so much better! :D
