HTML - One File On Two Servers For Faster Downloading
There are download managers (such as DAP, etc.) which can download parts of files from different mirrors and assemble them on the same pc.
Your users will need one of these installed to download the file, or you could send them your own download manager. If using a ready made download manager they'll need to enter the urls of the two mirrors of the file. Similar TutorialsHi, I'm putting up a store that sells downloadable content and am having trouble with the download procedure in the osCommerce system. Under Linux it works great but the host I am using uses Microsoft Server and after about 10 mb or 4 minutes time it runs out of resources and reports the download is complete when it is not. Now I'm looking for an alternative method to download the file without the buyer being able to see the exact URL for the file. If he could see that he would have the opportunity to pass it on to his friends. If dishonest he could just as easily email the file to all his friends but I digress. Using the store's download procedure I can only get 46kps where as I can get in excess of 200kps by entering the URL to the file in the address box at the top of the browser. Ok now I have procedures that will check to make sure the person is logged in and he has downloads available to the file before the procedure will continue so what I need to know is there a way to after the checks are run just do the equivelant of entering the URL at the top of the box without actually allowing the user to see the URL to the file? The store uses PHP to do this and under Linux is extremely fast, but under MS server is slower than crap and never completes. I thank you for reading this, I probably gave more information than was needed, but I would rather err on the side of too much than too little. Bob Hi, I want visitors to be able to download files (.mp3) from my web site . I've looked through some of the posts on this and some seem to say just use something like: <a href="http://yourdownloadfile.mp3">Download This</a> others mention php. What is the best to use? Do I need php? Thanks Hai I am displaying a list of mp3 files in a html file. I want to provide download option for the mp3 files from the html file. Now i am converting mp3 files to a zip file and then downloading it as below <a href="song.zip"> Download file</a> But i want to download it as an mp3 file itself. please any body guide me to download the mp3 file from the html file. Thanks Sakthi Hi, I'm a photographer and I want to start posting portrait slideshows to my website. What I would like to do is have a simple HTML page with hyperlinks that when you click on the subjects name it will start the download for the slideshow. However, I would like for it to request a password before allowing someone to download the file. It doesn't have to be double super secret secure and is really more for keeping honest people honest. I would just like to have another step the might deter someone from downloading another person's slideshow. Any help with this coding would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Pam I was hoping someone could clue me in as to whether or not this would be possible. I'm thinking it isn't but I need to make sure. I'd like to provide a file for people to download on my website, but when they click on the link and the download window appears I don't want them to have the option of opening it. Is it possible to only give them the option to save the file? Sounds incredibly unlikely but I gotta know. Hi, This is a strange problem. I have a small personal website written in UTF-8, which I have indicated with the Content-Type tag in the head, as you may verify. Nontheless, Firefox (at least, haven't tried any other browser) misinterprets and renders the page in ISO-8859-1, leading to the misrendered characters under item 5 under "Documents". As Firefox's "page info" dialog tells me, the Content-Type tag is recognized but the encoding is still ISO-8859-1. Viewing the page locally works fine, same with every other server I have tried. Why? Can this sort of setting be overridden by the server? Hi, This is in the wrong place... but I didn't know where to put it!!! I wanted to put it in the server administration, but that was divided by Unix, Linux, and Windows anyways and I didn't know if I should just choose one or what. I think this can be moved if someone knows where the best place is. Right? Getting to the point... I have no idea what the difference is as far as Windows and Linux web hosting servers? I am using one of Brinkster.com's shared server plans (because they are cheap!). They give an option between Windows and Linux. Which one is better? Which one should I use? Any suggestions? Thanks!!! I've got a problem...I make a page...only for training.....but i've got some problem with the HOVER...i have to wait a long time and after,the HOVER is work.Can help me someone to make it

the post.... Hey guys(and girls ), Here is my problem i would like to make a webpage like this: ---------------------HEADER--------------------- ---------------------php script------------------- ---------------------FOOTER--------------------- (Show Word) <-- When i click this, the page will be refresh so the php script will echo a random word, but if i do that every time i refresh the page i dont want to refresh the Header and Footer. My idea was to use iFrames... Is there any other way? Thnxs!!! Hey all! We seem to be having an issue with something. We changed the nameservers for a domain to a different hosting company and made up a new site for that host. Everything went fine. When I view the site on my computer the new site is there as it should be. However on my friend's computer it's still pulling up the old site with the old host, even though we've cleared out all the cookies, cache, etc. Sometimes the new site will pop up for a bit, then the old site shows up again, only on his computer. We're both going through the same internet service provider and I can't think of a single reason why his computer would be doing that. Any ideas? I have no clue what to title this. Forgive me. Here is my situation. I have a .zip file full of data that I am trying to sell online. I want customers to go to my site, read about the product, and then click BUY NOW. It will take you to AlertPay's page, where you can submit your payment information. After that, I have set it up to return you to a confirmation page which is on my sever. http://myservice.com/thank-you-for-your-order.html On this page, I'll have a link to download the file. The problem is, I don't want people passing out my link "http://myservice.com/thank-you-for-your-order.html" and going directly to the page and download the data without paying for it first. Is there a way that I can restrict people from viewing any one page on my site, if they did not come from a particular inbound server like alertpay.com first? Didn't know if the page could detect what link the viewer came from and push them away... at least with standard HTML code. Just curious... I know how to put code into the site so that it doesn't appear in search engines, but I need to prevent people from bookmarking the page and sending it to friends who refuse to pay. Thanks. Hey guys, I'm managing this website that my boss created. I'm a devoted Dreamweaver user and she created it HTML style. I need help because I can't figure out why it's not showing up in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Netscape. It shows up in Safari, but that's not going to satisfy our client. Here's the url: http://www.kwph.com it's the logo under the About Us section. Thank you for any help Jordan My HTML knowledge is limited as I am a new to the web design world. From 1-10 of my knowledge of HTML I would say I am at a 6. I have recently created a website using Dreamweaver CS5 and I would like to know how can I control cacheing on my website? I googled this but I dont know how to implement it. I would like people to cache my page so the next page they go on will load faster but I do want to update content once a week. How can I do this? thank you. Hi, Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for building websites not with .NET technology (ie .aspx etc) that allow you to do something similar like master pages and content pages. For example in .NET you can create a master page and then have content pages which automatically "link" to the master page so a header or template that you have in the master page is automatically kept and the content pages are just "loaded" into the contentDiv. I hope I'm making myself clear enough. One way I thought is maybe you create index.html and then all your links etc and header and footer and in the middle put a div. Then you can use javascript to set the contentDiv to whatever page you want with an iframe? Is that the correct approach? Thanks, SS Can someone post the code I would use to have a hyperlink on our webpage that would give visitors the option to view or download a pdf? Thanks! I'm trying to setup download links on my page. For exsample I have a file on my web server and I want a link that I can click on and it will bring up a download window. Can anyone PLEASE HELP! Generally when you click a link to e. g. JPEG image, it is open in browser window. When you click a link to a ZIP file, it is downloaded. Is there a possibility to force a browser downloading e. g. a JPEG image? I am setting up a website to print free birthday cards. However I am not at all experienced in html. Basically I want the customers to print the cards without downloading the image. I thought I could do this perhaps by loading what I want printed in an iframe (???) The actual page will have the image with a watermark on it, and a printing link that prints the card without the watermark Please follow this link and observe how the page scrolls up after you have been taken there. It scrolls up because, unless you've been here before and have all the images stored on your computer, the images are continually downloaded and they expand the height of the page causing it to expand down and causing your browser to scroll up. Incidentally, the point at which you were supposed to be linked to ends up further down the page. Is there a way of preventing this? Is there a way of getting the browser to stick to the original point on the page where you were linked to? |
