From: Karl DeSaulniers on 28 May 2010 16:39 Hello, How can I go about restricting the number of downloads of a file on my server? For Eg: if I want a music track to only be able to be downloaded by 150 people and thats it.. ever, how can I go about doing this? Much obliged, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com

Something like this could be triggered every time and then you can do whatever you want once it hits 150... maybe have it send you an email notification or something... http://www.stevedawson.com/article0007.php

Thank you for sharing. Not sure how this could be tied into what I'm trying for. Would I add this to the function that did the downloading of the file?

It would be trivial to stop the download at a specific number. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com

Quick question. Were you referring me to this link to download one of their demos or just to show that they count their downloads?
