I have large video files I upload to my server then send a link to various local media outlets.

I just started using a simple indexer (php easy downloader, jeebles directory) to display the file name and show the number of downloads. This gives me an idea if the outlets have accessed the file, or not.

I've looked through the numerous download manager scripts but haven't found a suitable solution.

What I'd like is to have the user enter their name before downloading so I would have a record of who downloaded it. Or better yet have them enter a user name then be shown only the files they need to download.

Any ideas of a script like this?

What if you required the user to enter their email address in order to obtain the download link? Then you'd not only have the number of downloads logged, but you could also contact previous downloaders if need be. No one could hot link your downloads either.

I've seen several versions of this type, but not quite what I was looking for. I'd rather just send them to a site that logs the info. I've done something like this in the past by just sending them a link to the file on the server. The only drawback is I can not tell if they ever download it.

Give me a little bit, and I'll try to come up with a better solution.
