To the above post:
Please post this in another thread as an "addon" and not within this thread. I think you offered great instructions, but I dont think that most people need to do this and I doubt the majority of the people can (physical + mental limitations). Many people dont even have access to non public_html or www sections of their website (except 4 tmp and ftp which I wouldnt advise using).
Thanks for your work, cant wait to speak with you on ICQ.
Also, a note about my own system: If you have an index file in the /downloads/ directory, then the direct link to the file is impossible to figure out. I might have overlooked something (i doubt I did), but users would have to know your abbreviation for the category, the way I format filenames, the name of the file, the author, and the time uploaded (which they would have to convert to an integer). Basically, its 15 minutes of work just to find the one file name - and provided that most people dont know how I create the new filename - its very, VERY unlikely. Using my system people cannot just mouse-over a link and see the file URL. Before they could, but now they cant.
