Download Redirecters?

[Anayet]

Lots of sites use scripts that redirect a link to a download file
eg, they use links like:
http://www.digitalxtc.co.uk/cgi-bin/download?9483

Where can I get a script that does this, so that I can add download links easily and quickly?

The ones that I have managed to get so far are crap cause they pop up pages where you have to click something, and then end up somewhere else......

I just want a basic one where I can use the above type of link to redirect to a file, and the file will simpley download without any problems.

Please point me to a good script

Thanks

goto anti-leech.com, they provide anti-leeching scripts and host them for you. If you want your own PM me and I'll give you some.

Nice site, but I'm looking for a simple script.
A script that will simply let me enter the download file name, size etc, and the real download link - something like that.
Simple, but effective, no pop ups, no 5 second waiting pages, no banners, just click a redirect link and download:)

PM me, I've got about 3 or so (I didnt actually count them) scripts that are suppose to do this.

All you have to do is redirect the user to the file using a Location: header. In PHP, you could do something like this:

<?
// do some stuff to determine where the file is;
// perhaps a database lookup...

header("Location: http://somewhere.com/filename.zip");
exit;
?>

You might pass in a file ID that references a database entry, or you might specify an actual filename on the query string.

I don't know off hand of any scripts to do this, usually it's specific to your particular implementation (where filenames are stored, where the files are at, what kind of logging/tracking you are trying to do, etc), and usually it's easiest to whip up a few line script instead of trying to find a plug 'n' play solution for something this simple.

Hope this helps.

Then what do you need a script for? Why can't you just link to the file in the normal way?
What am I missing this time? :confused:

I believe he doesn't want people to know the URL of the file? :confused:

yep, thats true, i want to hide the urls, and that site puts adverts and other stuff on, and i just want a simple script that i can configure/modify easily from my site.
Anyway got a few, thanks rapmaster :)
