Very good point. Thanks for that Henrik.
I was starting to wrap my head around an idea like this.
Where each user was given a list of available downloads and as they
downloaded, the list got shorter.
Once the list was depleted, no more downloads.
I didn't think about tokens because I have never used them and they
seem too complicated for such a small task.
Any Tuts?
TIA

Hello,
How can I go about restricting the number of downloads of a file
on my
server?
For Eg: if I want a music track to only be able to be downloaded
by 150
people and thats it.. ever,
how can I go about doing this?
I recommend at the very least using a token system where each
downloader gets a token granting access to the download. Without
one, you could end up with an aborted download and no way of
resuming it.
That and the fact that clients may be increasing the counter
needlessly if they do things like segmented downloads.
