As I said, you can tell that by checking at the bottom of one of the LDM admin pages - if it says 'allow_fopen' is 0 and cURL 1 then it's using cURL rather than the simpler php code. In that case, you would have to re-enable allow_fopen.

If fopen is on, then I'm stuck. I attach some code that you can use to check the raw download speed from your site to a pc - just unzip and upload it into a subdirectory called eg speedtest and point your browser at speedtest/speedtest4.php

I really appreciate you working with me on this one, so Thank you again!

Anyhow, it appears its using fopen:

Links and Downloads Database
Code 2.0.6
MySQL 4.0.21-nt
PHP 4.3.9
allow_url_fopen Yes
cURL Yes
GD2 Yes
open_basedir

Here's the speedtest link, I got 24KBps. Here's a link to a video file on the same server so you can test your normal speeds: http://videos.observedtrials.net/coustellier.mpg
