Limit Attachment Downloads 1.3


The writing of this hack was sponsored by: sama3y.net

About this hack:
This hack allows you to limit the number of attachments users can download during a given time period.

This hack is pretty flexible right now. You can choose how many attachments a user can download in a give time. That given time can be set to an hour, a day, a week, a month, 3 months, 6 months, or a year. You also set which attachment types get counted for this hack. Also, you set which usergroups get affected by this hack and how many downloads each usergoup can make.

If a user tries downloading past their limit, they will get an error message. This error message includes when they will be able to start downloading again.

Also, there is a cron job to remove from the table that this hack creates, all the rows that are past the limit date so your table doesn't grow forever and saves you space.

yep because this hack limits them to how many per day/month etc but no incentive to try boost their limit back up.
Not sure if u can pull it off but cheers for hack Abe1

These 2 options would be mod of the month for sure!

1. I have 90 00 members on my site, I had a thread created 4 days ago which had a 1.9 meg attachment in it. within 4 days, 30 000 people have downloaded it, that is almost 60GB of bandwidth! I doubt those downloads were unique!

People can login create a bot, and then have that bot keep downloading that attachment to waste bandwidth. Having a catpcha image, would make the bot useless.

Not everyone may want this, but at least having the option in the admincp to turn it on/off would be great! as I would use it for sure!

2. I mean like rapidshare, if they go over then the countdown timer starts exactly like rapidshare, with ajax, so they dont have to refresh etc.

thanks.

This would be a totally separate hack.

K, but it would be really cool to have it all in one, with options to turn certain things on/off

hello ,
if you can add a small feature for it make it limited by IP not by the username , because he can have other username directly and contine downloading , also if you can add speed limit feature it's will be too much nice ,
I really like you hack .
Thanks ,
Zi5
