I have downloads on my site but i want to make it so you can only download 1 file at a time so i dont get like 6 people downloading 3 or 4 files at the same time because thats like 24 files. Hope thats more clear.

you would have to use a bandwidth restrictor, its a piece of software that actively limits your bandwidth at the LAN card, this however has a limiting factor in that you may then experienc or rather your surfers will experienc page errors or no page dispalyd even though your not using all your bandwidth.
your alternative is to have a script that run on the users local machine that wont allow them to download more than one file at a time, it is possible to detect all sorts of events including the downloading of files and other things like when the download has finished, this built into the page which picks up on page clicks, checks to see if theirs a download if so, alert the user.
All it takes is some javascript or vbscript, if you surf the net for a while you will see examples of web loads, take the Yahoo chat install, over the web, installs and configure...
Your alternative is to use .php with a database to track users and reference the database to see if the IP address and user name etc is already downloadng, etc...
Those are the only two ways I can thing of that could do the job, the javascript relys on the end users browser being js enabled, a php served page and control at your end would be more resource hungry but you pull the strings, the javascript page couldd be viewed and the surfer engineer a copy without your restrictions if they have the savvy. |

mrblue - everything is possible
You can limit the number of connections per IP - but that is not good prectise. Better use IP troteling. (or what ever the thing is in english) |

Yeah I'm using the Beta version with the bandwidth settings and well i still get people downloading 3 or more files at once, the server only has 600k bandwidth and my setting for the bandwidth is 600 over 150 and well downloads still seem slow i mean like 7k. My net connection is 1500k (1.5mb)
