The ftp idea is the way to go for such a large file. One weakness of the code is that the upload entry is written to the database without confirming the file was successfully uploaded.

Actually I think it should be like this just like westpoiter said.

PHP Code:

        // ###### ELITECODERS DOWNLOAD HACK ######
    print_table_header("Download Permissions");
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_view_files'], 'usergroup[canviewfiles]', 

$ug_bitfield['canviewfiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_download_files'], 'usergroup[candownloadfiles]', 

$ug_bitfield['candownloadfiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_rate_files'], 'usergroup[canratefiles]', 

$ug_bitfield['canratefiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_upload_images'], 'usergroup[canuploadimages]', 

$ug_bitfield['canuploadimages']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_link_to_files'], 'usergroup[canlinktofiles]', 

$ug_bitfield['canlinktofiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_upload_files'], 'usergroup[canuploadfiles]', 

$ug_bitfield['canuploadfiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_avoid_purgatory'], 'usergroup[canavoidpurgatory]', 

$ug_bitfield['canavoidpurgatory']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_manage_purgatory'], 'usergroup[canmanagepurgatory]', 

$ug_bitfield['canmanagepurgatory']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_edit_own_files'], 'usergroup[caneditownfiles]', 

$ug_bitfield['caneditownfiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_can_edit_all_files'], 'usergroup[caneditallfiles]', 

$ug_bitfield['caneditallfiles']);
    print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ecdownloads_view_disabled'], 'usergroup[canviewdisabled]', 

$ug_bitfield['canviewdisabled']);
    print_table_break();

Question: How do I disable needing to have an author? And is there a way to not change the name of the of the file when it's downloaded. It adds the author, short name and some number that end up at the end. Can this be removed and how.

All of this COULD be done but you are talking about editing downloads.php. If you know PHP, the change would be relatively simple. Look around line 511 for the text $newfilename to change how the file gets named. You'd also need to modify what happens when the author edits the entry.

As far as making the author optional, a better solution would be to change the submission form to automatically place the username in the author field. That would probably require a change in the template.

If you edit a download, the file extension is lost when you save the edit. To fix this, look for this around line 549 in downloads.php:

PHP Code:

            elseif($_GET['do'] == 'edit')
            {

                $result = $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files SET `name`=".$dl->prep($_POST['name']). 


add this line before the $result:

PHP Code:

$newfilename = $newfilename.strtolower(substr($file['url'], strrpos($file['url'], '.')+1)); // fix ext dropping problem 


The final result should look like:

PHP Code:

            elseif($_GET['do'] == 'edit')
            {
                $newfilename = $newfilename.strtolower(substr($file['url'], strrpos($file['url'], '.')+1)); // fix ext dropping problem
                $result = $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dl_files SET `name`=".$dl->prep($_POST['name']).

Uhg.. Well as another users has stated, I'm having another problem with my uploaded files count. I have actually 1 file right now for download... I've been trying to get a video file to work. Yes I have added the extension in the setting like you supposed to but everytime I upload it and you click the download link you get a blank screen.. so I've tried uploading it about, oh 11 times and now the site says there are 12 downloads available.. How can this be fxed because it's not right.

It sounds like you have two problems 1) You upload the file but it doesn't download 2) you feel the file count is wrong.

As for #1, I'm not sure. Can you provide your site URL?

For #2, the file count is correct. Note that even if you upload the same file 12 times, the file gets renamed each time and will be counted as 12 uploads. Now, if you've deleted the file first, then uploaded it, and your count says 12 that is a problem.
