so is it possible to make max connections per ip script using php... like so that users cant dl more than 2 files at a same time.

and if it is: how to do it?

[NeverMind]

you could do that by storing the IP of the user in the DB.. and add 1 for each new download of that IP.
once you reach the limit, disable downloading!

I was thinking about the same tihing. My main problem about getting a answer to this is he wants to limit max number of simultainius downloads. Storing ip in DB, yea, but how to define when the download is compleate to reopen the download possibility?

Maybe only store the IPs for a minute or so, then have it expire.

PHP Code:

 
// lets log the IP.
 
mysql_query("insert into log_ip values('$ip') ");
 
while($output .=fread("myfile.exe"))
{
  echo $output;
}
 
// the download is complete now lets remove the ip
 
mysql_query("delete from log_ip where ip_field = '$ip' "); 

I hope this example help
