But I want to show them how much time they have left. The script must be storing that time limit somewhere in the database and I want to show it on the page where it says "Please wait before trying another access - timeout period (seconds): 300."

I want to show it as "Please wait before trying another access - timeout period (seconds): 300, you have *** seconds left for you next download" or something like that. Can anyone please help me out here .

Thanks.

This is an easy change to make. Two edits:

edit local_links.php. Find these lines

// Prevent multiple hits within specified timeout
	if ($links_defaults["timeout_hit_allow"]>0) {
		$timeout = $time - $links_defaults["timeout_hit_allow"];
		$jumplink = $DB_site->query("
			SELECT userid, usertime FROM ".THIS_TABLE."linksdownloads
	        WHERE userid='".$bbuserinfo[userid]."'
	        ORDER BY usertime DESC
	        LIMIT 1
        ");
	    while ($jump=$DB_site->fetch_array($jumplink)) {
	        if ($jump['usertime'] > $timeout) {
	            eval(print_standard_error($vbphrase['ll_wait'].' '.$links_defaults["timeout_hit_allow"],0));
	            exit;
	        }
	    } 
	}

and replace with

// Prevent multiple hits within specified timeout
	if ($links_defaults["timeout_hit_allow"]>0) {
		$timeout = $time - $links_defaults["timeout_hit_allow"];
		$jumplink = $DB_site->query("
			SELECT userid, usertime FROM ".THIS_TABLE."linksdownloads
	        WHERE userid='".$bbuserinfo[userid]."'
	        ORDER BY usertime DESC
	        LIMIT 1
        ");
	    while ($jump=$DB_site->fetch_array($jumplink)) {
	        $timeleft = $jump['usertime'] - $timeout;
	        if ($timeleft>0) {
				$wait = construct_phrase($vbphrase['ll_wait'], $timeleft, $links_defaults["timeout_hit_allow"]);
				eval(print_standard_error($wait,0));
	            exit;
	        }
	    } 
	}

Then edit local_links_phrases.xml and find the line

		<phrase name="ll_wait"><![CDATA[Please wait before trying another access - timeout period (seconds):]]></phrase>

and replace by

		<phrase name="ll_wait"><![CDATA[Please wait {1} seconds. Timeout period between accesses: {2} seconds]]></phrase>

I'll make this a permanent fix for version 2.00 but I don't plan any more changes to 1.60 unless there are serious bugs.
