gosh, harlor19, stop answering when you don't know, the guy will flee

1- template edition and there is some tool on the web that grab the site image when you indicate the url in the query... i don't remember it, but it is popular... so it is easy to grab the urls from a post and then parse the url with that technique

2- something like an external file uploader would do the trick... because using the attachment manager is easy... what is your problem with the attachment manager here?! we can fix it maybe

3- adding a process to zip all attachments that are not images is possible... and easy with a plugin

4- reading specific files is quite easy... once they are stored, they are readable in many ways... Torrent trackers use that for the .torrent files... and the .nfo files... i think we have a hack here that do the .nfo files... you can mimic it... don't know the name anyway
