Download speedlimit for Guest User

[baipai]

how make a modification for "download speed limit" in version 2.1.xx ?
i see a solution but is for version 1.xx

must only modify download2.php????????

Find in ./download2.php:

Code: Select all

   header('Content-type: application/octetstream');
   header('Content-Length: ' . filesize("./storage/".$validdownload[0]));
   header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$validdownload[1].'"');
   readfile("./storage/".$validdownload[0]);
   die();

Replace with:

Code: Select all

$speed_rate = 100;
//Speed is in KB/s (Kilobytes per second).

header('Cache-control: private');
header('Content-type: application/octetstream');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize("./storage/".$validdownload[0]));
header('Content-Disposition: filename='.$validdownload[1]);

flush();

$dfile = fopen("./storage/".$validdownload[0], "r");

while (!feof($dfile)){
print fread($dfile, round($speed_rate * 1024));
flush();
sleep(1);
}

fclose($dfile);

If you have multiple servers on DFH, you will have to apply the above to the addition server's ./multiserver/download.php file.

Let me know if you encounter any issues.

thanks SamEA

I had already found.
the following problem.
if a download is running, it blocked the whole server.
I think there are major performance problem if 10 downloads simultaneously

do not have another solution?

[SamEA]

Yes, as mentioned in the previous post, I'm afraid this modification may use more of the computer's resources than normal.

I do not believe there is another solution, unless it involves modifying the apache's config files. However, you may search on Google for further solutions on how to modify download speeds with PHP, and if you find anything, I'll happily look into it.

Thank you.

Thanks,
I'll look further and report if I find a solution
depositfiles and rapidshare can do, then we can do too.
I am confident.... This is a Great Script
