You've set the LDM admin setting *links_expiry_days* to 20 days, so after 20 days they become hidden. They have not been deleted.

Is it possible to secure an external link for a download? Currently if the file is on the server you can secure the download file very well, but is this possible to point it to another server. It would be very nice if I was able to mirror a file on another one of my webhosts but in a secure way.
Thanks!

It's not possible (as far as I know) to access a file on another server which is held outside the website space on that server. However, LDM's access to remote files is 'secure' in the following sense:

- provided force_redirect is set to 0, there is not way for the user to discover where the file is held, because it is streamed through LDM
- you can set up entries in LDM with username/password in order to access http protected areas on the remote server.

wow, I am seriously impressed, and continually surprised how amazing this hack is. I just did a quick test and I think it will work perfect.

Can you briefly explain how I would be able to set up entries that are password protected on a remote server?
