You don't need the full url. Just give these relative to your forums dir, i.e. /images/downloadmanager

wait_timeout is the length of time that MySQL on your web server waits before dropping a connection to the database. If your web server has a very short value for this parameter, then you may experience error messages with large file downloads, because these take longer than wait_timeout seconds to complete. I've tried to overcome this problem in version 2.2.6, but the fix creates new problem. This message is just a warning - you can overcome it by changing the parameters for MySQL, but most people don't have access to these parameters.
