The find and replace features that I will use can be straightforward or very sophisticated - basically they use the regular expression pattern matching code that is built into php.

Concerning your next point, I will take a look at what is involved. I agree it makes sense to pick up the error code, if any, when trying to retrieve a file, and respond appropriately. I suspect that it's straightforward when using the cURL module to access files.

As an aside, I'm wondering if this may be why some people have difficulties with the LDM jukebox from remote sites. At least, the windows media player plugin sends two or three separate requests to the server, depending on which browser is being used. It doesn't bother reading the full file each time - just picks up the headers and first bytes - but this may be why it hangs on the remote server but not on a local server.

it would be very handy not being forced to edit each single entry, to add an additional download link, but for my conditions, i am getting out of space on my servers, so one mirror may not include a complete list of all files added to LDM.
so it may lead too many broken links if we don't control the error codes....
FYI: 3507 Entries with avg. size of 85 MB per each file
i think i was not completely right when speaking of mirrors, because a mirror is a COPY of the original server with different base url.... what i was talking about was alternative download locations.
is there a possibility to chat with you in messengers so that i could explain what i exactly need before you spend your time on implementing this feature?

thanks
