How can I limit user to 5 connections per file?

[Novox]

Hello Sir,

I would like to know how can I limit the user to create only 5 connections per file? I have tried to used "Max simultaneous......." but not works. I would like to do it like this because when HFS get many request, it will crash.

Thanks in advanced!

ensure the "prevent leeching" option is enabled.
it will bound every user to download a file using a single connection. it should be enough.

Thanks for your answer but there is no way to give 5 connections per file?

I can't use "Prevent Leeching" because sometime speed for one connection is not using at maximum speed, it need to create more connection to get the maximum speed.

Thanks again!

i don't remember if you was the one who already asked this same question a month ago.
i have still some topics to reply.

anyway you can get such limit by using "event scripts".
by putting something like

[download]
if number of connections for this user (or this file?) is greater than 5, than disconnect


this must be translated with macro commands. you'll find a complete list on rejetto.com/wiki

or you can just search this forum, because i posted a similar script in the last 2 months.

Yeah, it's me who asked you the similar question about month ago.

But in this topic I mean if I have allowed user to use Download Manager, can I restrict the maximum connection number (part) for the user?

[rejetto]

yes, you can

[download]
{.if| {.{.current downloads by user.} > 5.} |{: {.disconnect.} :} .}

Hi. many thanks for your reply but it's not exactly what I want.

Your event is seem to be limit overall connection to the users. 5 is user can only make a connection with HFS only 5, if more than 5 then disconnect. So, what I need is to limit maximum connections per file. Users can download many file in the same time but with only maximum 5 parts (threads in flashget) per file.

Thanks!

i can easily make a command to count connections on the same file
