Use a download manager

[Bermudez]

Hello, it might be possible to use a download manager with this mod?
Thank you.

Hello,

no, sorry, because the mod was designed to controll the traffic and permissions to download a file.

It's a shame.
I have several large files and some users of my forum have trouble downloading them, and would be solved if they could use a download manager.
Thank you anyway.

Just to throw a question into this, doesn't phpbb use http authorization header for the feed.php file for feedreaders? Maybe that an option?

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2029415

Allow HTTP Authentication = Enabe this to allows you to open the feed with the parameter auth=http
URL = feed.php?auth=http
This option allows you to issue user credentials (a user as registered in your phpBB board) for opening the feed. The feed will show contents according to the user permissions (e.g. show forum contents that is hidden to Guests).
Most feed readers have the option to specify a username and password in the feed properties.
If opened with a browser, you will get a Login dialog. Depending on the web browser version you may specify the user credentials in the URL, e.g.:
http://username:password@yoursite.xx/ph ... ?auth=http
Internet Explorer no longer allows to include user credentials in the URL (see Microsoft KB 834489), with Firefox you get a confirmation dialog.
See Microsoft KB 917125 for Outlook 2007 and authentication.
Some webservers need a modified .htaccess file as found in the root of your board installation, remove the # sign in front of these four lines:

Code: Alles auswählen

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
    </IfModule>
