Re:direct download links - "illegal download attempt" - 2010/01/07 18:22
We are using remository for the website of the town of Wendell, Massachusetts, a small community of 860 people total (wendellmass.us). We use it for zoning permits, building permits, the brochure of the town conservation area and so on -- documents for which we have no concerns about piracy and in fact would love direct links. In fact we changed the file structure so that pdf files could be viewed directly without even downloading. But remository is very useful to us because some files are too big to view directly in the browser, and even more critical, it allows folks from the town to upload their own documents.
I just thought I'd share this as it occurs to me we may have rather a different model than some and you might want to know and know why the download limit doesn't matter to us. In our case we're just going to set it to a higher number and be done with it. Anyone who wants to download more than 25 zoning permits is either off their rocker or building a development that is too large for this town!
So anyway, thank you Martin, for your work on this component. Being such a small town, we would not otherwise have the resources for this kind of capability
