Hey !

I got a further question. I would like to know, how can people download things from my site? I mean...Im uploading the file, lets say "Xfire Installer". And the address will by something like eigho.com/downloads/xfire_install.exe. BUT, when people enter the site. It shows a pictures :

" Requested file : 250KB" or something.

So, how can I make so people can download the file ? It doesnt help to put the file in a .zip file

Thanks !

Usually to enable a download all you have to do is make a link to the location and filename of the file:
HTML Code:
<a href="eigho.com/downloads/xfire_install.exe">download file</a>
But it sounds to me like you're using some kind of Content Management System or Blog Tool. If so, you might be better off asking your question on the forums from where you got the tool.

The image says: Requested file exceeds 256KB.

Your server doesn't allow downloads of files bigger than 256KB. So whatever you do, you won't be able to download from there.

Try some external service like putfile.com or something. Google for 'free online storage' to get some more options.

what you should do is create a page called xfire.html.

on that page put the code:

HTML Code:

<a href="eigho.com/downloads/xfire_install.exe">download file</a>

i think the problem is that you are linking to the file. you should just put it in the download section of the page.....
