how to do it like rapidshare?

[XtremeMaC]

hi there

i was wondering how i could setup a download script like rapidshares?

well okay, i want everthing that rapidshare has except the 60second waiting time.

which I mean

when someone clicks on a link say downloadme.zip i want it to open a webpage

now i know how to do that but the next part is tricky

i want it to have dynamic url

say my file's at

http://www.abc.com/downloads/downloadme.zip

when a user clicks on it I want it to be @

http://www.abc.com/112233/abc/downloadme.zip

and when another user clicks on it i want it to be at alternate location

this could be done with session as well i believe so, but i'm not exactly sure

i also don't want the links to be dl'ed with download accelerators

can someone help me with this??

php prefered..

thanks

Hey, yeah this script can be done and you can only do it in PHP. Heres a few scripts i have tried a few times that i got from here.

About the subfolder that's dynamical: you can simply create a temporary subdomain -auatomatically of course - and let it be removed afterwards. On top of that you can encrypt the URI. Would that be enough?

Hmmm, i never thought of that bashrat. i wanna give that a try tonight.

thanks, but that is part of what i want.

i want to have a session id to limit another user dling from the same location. i know how to do this with asp.net but for php i've no idea.

@bashrat that seems to be a good idea, though i dunno how to create a subdomain through php. i usually do it via cpanel

let me try to explain better

now i have a file at

abc.com/download.zip right

now when the user uploads that file i want my script to show him

random_server_abc.com/random_path/download.zip.html

and after that, user goes and posts it in a forum

and ppl click on it then download the file

after this i don't want that url to be active anymore,

just like rapidshare i mean:D

why can't i explain this right , maybe bc i'm in the middle of studying, i dunno, anyways i hope someone understands it
