support download management tools - 2009/10/11 01:10 I noticed that I can't use other tools to download files which were managed by Remository, I have to download each file ONLY with the browser itself.

If the file is very large, for example, over 500MB, the direct download by browser always can't do this, especially when we need to resume the downloading due to connection breakup or other reasons.

People always love to use some download management tools to download big files, such as Flashget (http://www.flashget.com/), Thunder (http://dl.xunlei.com/). Can Remository support these tools?

Thanks. http://www.joomlagate.com

Re:support download management tools - 2009/10/12 16:35 Remository already supports any download mechanism that uses HTTP requests, including range requests for parts of a file. Martin Brampton aka Counterpoint

Re:support download management tools - 2009/10/13 00:10 A little strange. Members on my website complained that they can't download large files with Thunder (a popular downloading management tool in China).

I am using Joomla 1.0.x and Remository v3.52.6 for J1.0, and enabled core SEF of Joomla 1.0.

Maybe the SEF prevented this function? http://www.joomlagate.com

Re:support download management tools - 2009/10/14 20:13 OK, I have looked for information on Thunder. So far as I can see, it is a Bit Torrent tool. Remository does not presently support Bit Torrent.

Implementing Bit Torrent is not altogether straightforward, and for an application that includes access control features, it is not immediately clear how appropriate it is to use a protocol oriented towards file sharing. In some case, there is no problem, but for others it would be important to be sure that the use of Bit Torrent did not blow a gaping hole in the Remository access controls.

Another issue is that network carriers are tending to place constraints or blocks on Bit Torrent traffic for various reasons.

If Bit Torrent is to be supported by Remository, the most likely route would be through use of Amazon S3. Although not everyone would want to set up an S3 account. It would be quite a complex extension of Remository. Martin Brampton aka Counterpoint

Re:support download management tools - 2009/10/15 05:17 No, Thunder is not ONLY a BitTorrent downloading tool.

Surely it supports BitTorrent, but it is at first been used as a FTP/HTTP downloading management tool.

You can try it yourself. It can download from many websites, such as sourceforge.net.

So I wonder why it can't work with Remository? http://www.joomlagate.com

Re:support download management tools - 2009/10/15 12:53 Can you provide a reliable source for a version of Thunder that is usable by a non-Chinese speaker?

If you can provide a safe source, I will experiment with it. Martin Brampton aka Counterpoint
