Download manager - with vB - best one?
 

Is there a download manager hack or a downloads database hack? I want to have some files (some very large - > 30MB) for download for just my members. It would be nice to set a minimum post count for some too...

Are there any good hacks that will let me do this? If so, which is the best?

This would be a great idea. Did anything ever come from this, or did you find anything?

The problem you are going to encounter with this idea is the php has a file size limit of something like 3 meg (or lower, I'm not exactly sure of the size, but it is around that).

I was actually working on a hack like that but i never got round to finishing it after many issues with my last forum ;)

It's a seperate file called website.php which you can add in files for download. These are accessed by an id in the query string and then read from a private directory (so no one else can download it) and only members signed in could get the files.

I don't know much on the php file size limit though :/

this is just the upload limit, dowloads can be bigger than that

(also it's 2mb in standart install ;))

Ok, I didn't know it was just the upload limit. But how can you download more if you can't upload the same? That doesn't make much sense. ;)

you can't upload it through a form, that's the limit, but if you upload it via ftp php can access greater files :)
