How can I get the fetchmod like you have on you're site ?

Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2011 3:59 am

I would like to stop download leeching on my site.

I have the fetchmod module, but the modules/downloads/index.php file is totally different in ravennuke than it is for regular nuke 7.6, So I'm not sure how to edit it in order to get it to work. Any help appreciated.

I think montego is pretty close on his TegoNuke™/NSN Group Downloads module Smile

Or just store you files below the webroot, that way they can only be accessed by PHP.

Thanks Guardian003: That would be out side of the public html folder correct ?

@Raven: How did you get fetchmodg to work with this site ?

I have thousands of files and would still like to be able to use it in the future, as that's what I have been using for years. Cool

Why can I not edit my last post ?

That was very strange, I tried to edit my last post three times and it would not show the edit, until I posted the 2nd post about me not being able to edit my prior post. hmmm.

@ thebishop, yes that would mean storing your files outside of the public_html directory, which is always a good thing to do.
Alternatively you could add a htacces file in the publicly accessible directory and add an deny from all directive which prevents direct access to the files.
Other more complicated methods, probably not supported by the module by default is to 'stream' the file either by changing the default mime type handler for the file type or changing the header content type to 'disposition' - this is more of a prevention technique to hide the true location of the file and without the true location, you cannot link to the file directly.

Here is the basic approach being used:

However, it will break your admin validation links. I think that is a minor annoyance though.

Are you still working on this Montego ?

Yes, had to get out a new ShortLinks based upon some issues found and posted here. Now that that is done, I've already started back into final touches development. It is so close, I can taste it, but, unfortunately, since its going to my first release of it, there is a bunch of documentation and re-packing also to do. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I can release it. If you want a pretty good beta version (but no instructions...), PM me here with your email address. I just ask that if you do take a beta, that you post any issues found over at my Forum for TegoNuke(tm)/NSN Downloads.
