You can use this hack to provide links to files on any machine that is accessible via the internet. They do not need to be uploaded onto your own site. The normal approach would be to provide a link to a file held within the file system of the target host, so indeed you can provide entries to large drivers.

This hack does not provide any facility to upload the files - you have to do that another way. It also does not store the files in the database - it simply stores the information on the file.

The only comment on this is that the facility to report file sizes and track download progress is *not* available if you identify the file using a ful url, i.e. http://site/directory/file. This facility only works if the file is held on your own host and is identified using a local file name.
