I wasn't sure on where to put this but i think this could be made with a script or maybe someone could direct me to a free working program.

What i'm looking for are 2 download servers, like fileplanet, filefront, ...
1 public server (wher people have to wait some minutes before the download begins) and one for my paying users which has a direct connection. This way my previous problem of leeching is out of the way too.

I'm not expecting something as complicated and advanced as fileplanet.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Ok than, could someone tell me how i can secure my downloads so they won't be able to download it by typing in the link. They need to visit the site first, register and than they can download. That's what i need.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.

there are PHP scripts for this there are also ASP Scripts (easier). Find one from Google like PHP File Host or whatever and then Make the download direct with the scripting so they have to go tyo the page first.

If your files are small like team speak 2 go to www.clansitemanager.com ... they will host stuff in zip files under 8 mb i think

My files are from 60 to 120 MB so that's why i needed a download server but thanks for the help and i'll check it out.

Well... What are you Posting to download?

I think you may have to buy a host for this job...

I got a host and storage, that isn't the problem. The problem is that people can steal the downloads (link them from their site/forum).

Try checking the referrer using either mod_rewrite or a server side script, then either allowing access to the file or not.

i see what you mean... Well, if you have the downloaded hosted, ppl wont beable to "steal" them and say they are theres, If you host them the file information box with open and save button will say ur site.

if you still want them prteceted... i cant help, dunno how

do u use cpanel? try using hotlink protection, u can add it to the folders you dont want ppl to steal from

Haven't tried it but this should work:
Instead of linking directly to files use .htaccess to stop people from accessing the directory which holds the files. Then create a PHP script which when given an authorisation code and file id looks into a database and finds the location of the file and looks in another database to see if that authorisation code is correct for the file, then it serves up the file by loading it from your server (it has access as it is a local file).

When a user wants to dowload give them a page where they are put into the queue. Insert a record into the database saying what file they want and when they entered the queue (if you want a fixed time, if not just develop a small database for queueing). Have the option to log in as a pro user.

When the person reaches the front of the queue or is a pro user give them an auth code and redirect them to the download script.

thanks for the help guys, i was thinking about a .htacces file myself. I'll try the ideas you gave me. Thanks again.

If you have access to your server settings, you can even change any file that's hotlinked to show a nice error page instead... such as one with a threat of a million dollar lawsuit. Those seem to get rid of hotlinkers pretty quickly...
