Limit Attachment Downloads
 
Limit Attachment Downloads 1.3


The writing of this hack was sponsored by: sama3y.net

About this hack:
This hack allows you to limit the number of attachments users can download during a given time period.

This hack is pretty flexible right now. You can choose how many attachments a user can download in a give time. That given time can be set to an hour, a day, a week, a month, 3 months, 6 months, or a year. You also set which attachment types get counted for this hack. Also, you set which usergroups get affected by this hack and how many downloads each usergoup can make.

If a user tries downloading past their limit, they will get an error message. This error message includes when they will be able to start downloading again.

Also, there is a cron job to remove from the table that this hack creates, all the rows that are past the limit date so your table doesn't grow forever and saves you space.

Abe1 07-19-2007 06:50 PM

DJ XtAzY 07-19-2007 07:08 PM

No. It is only done on a usergroup level.

PlymWS 07-26-2007 04:21 PM
If a user reaches their limit, will they still be able to see the thumbnails of attachment images or will they not be displayed ?

This mod would suit my site fantastically but I would still need users to be able to see thumbnails when they have reached their limit.

chapsrulez 07-27-2007 03:14 PM
Installed and working.
Great work.
thanks.

I think it can be done, in my site i have a download subforum, and per usergoups i deny the downloads. on all other subforums downloads are enable.

In my site works
I didn't enabled the plugin for "jpg, gif, png and psd files" and enabled it for .dwg, .3ds, .rar, .zip, etc.
When a user uploads a new attachment in (dwg, 3ds, rar, etc) i create a thumb so user sees what they are downloading.

This was easier than I thought. For everyone else who wants this feature :

ACP -> Products & Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Edit attachment_display thus :
Code:
change

if ($count_download)

to read

if ($count_download && !$vbulletin->GPC['thumb'])
Save.

Version 1.3 (7/29/07):
  • [ADDED] I added a lot more options to 'Download Limit Time Frame' option.
  • [CHANGED] Thumbnails are not counted as download attachments.

Just re-upload the product XML file.

PlymWS 07-29-2007 12:12 PM
The product download is for 1.2 yet the latest version is 1.3 ???

Sorry, forgot to change the file. Check now.

Hornstar 08-01-2007 02:51 AM
Some of my suggestions for a future update:
1. Any chance to add captcha to the attachments as an option?
2. If users go over allowed attachments, add a count down timer, that they will have to wait before they can download.

These 2 options would be mod of the month for sure!

gforce75 08-01-2007 03:13 AM
Very good concept :p

Not sure what you mean. How would this help this hack.

This is a feature already! If you try to download an attachment after you used your time already, then it tells you how much time you have left. (look at the first image in the main post)

lasto 08-04-2007 05:41 PM
this is quite good but how about if a user uploads an attachment in a specific forum then their attachment limit goes up by 1

This would encourage people to just not download attachments but also to upload stuff which is relevant to the site in question.

If a user uploads an attachment, then they get an extra download?

lasto 08-05-2007 03:41 AM
yep because this hack limits them to how many per day/month etc but no incentive to try boost their limit back up.
Not sure if u can pull it off but cheers for hack Abe1

1. I have 90 00 members on my site, I had a thread created 4 days ago which had a 1.9 meg attachment in it. within 4 days, 30 000 people have downloaded it, that is almost 60GB of bandwidth! I doubt those downloads were unique!

People can login create a bot, and then have that bot keep downloading that attachment to waste bandwidth. Having a catpcha image, would make the bot useless.

Not everyone may want this, but at least having the option in the admincp to turn it on/off would be great! as I would use it for sure!

2. I mean like rapidshare, if they go over then the countdown timer starts exactly like rapidshare, with ajax, so they dont have to refresh etc.

thanks.

iDenis 08-09-2007 10:43 AM
Thanks...nice mod ...

But now I'm have a simple problem...

Group "Unregistered / Not Logged In" don't have "Limit Attachment Downloads" and "Download Attachment Limit" parameters :confused:

This would be a totally separate hack.

I dont think I'll add it.

Hornstar 08-14-2007 12:44 AM
K, but it would be really cool to have it all in one, with options to turn certain things on/off

Zi55 09-03-2007 11:05 PM
hello ,
if you can add a small feature for it make it limited by IP not by the username , because he can have other username directly and contine downloading , also if you can add speed limit feature it's will be too much nice ,
I really like you hack .
Thanks ,
Zi5
