Suggestion (Web donwload control)

[some1]

Hey!
Loving the software - have been using it for a bit...
but an idea came to me.... so i looked about in google for it - nope, couldnt find it, so i thought - could be a bit of a long shot but here goes....

the idea was:

A Web Based Download manager....

So with a bit of modding, you could log into your file server, and then tell it what addressses to download, and see if it has downloaded yet!?

No?

Just an idea...

Do you mean like external access to your own computer, so you could give the uploads section a URL of a file and it could download to your computer using HFS's upload/download features? Could be useful, but i wouldn't use it.

you should consider using VNC for such task
http://ultravnc.sf.net
you fully control the computer, and has web interface

If I had to take a guess, I'd say some1 is talking about integrating something like NetPumper into the server ...I'm not quite sure.
I would think it'd be easier to tell your friends to use a download manager.

Hello!

Right at the mo, i leave PC on to download, go out, do what i have to do....
Now if i go, o crap, i now what "blah blah", i have to get home to download it...
my idea is that, i could log into HFS, and say to it, download this file!

at the mo, im using a remote control bit of software, which allows me to control ma PC via Firefox (or any internet brower...)
Yea like ultravnc

that help?

WHY make this work with HFS while you already do it with another software?
how is this job related to HFS ?

>WHY make this work with HFS while you already do it with another software?
becuase the other way, uses java, allows full control etc etc does more than i want it to.

>how is this job related to HFS ?
its an idea - calm down! just thinking that it could be another feature...











am sorry now i that i said it!

[rejetto]

i'm so calm i could sleep.
on this forum hundreds features are suggested, and sometimes discussed.
don't be afraid if someone ask you WHY

[some1]

ok...
Your downloading files, you leave PC on, you go to a mates...it finishes donwloading....your PC is just sitting there....you go, wait a sec i now want blah blah file.... you can then remotely send it. and it downloads it for you! so its there when you get bk!?

you feeling me?!

[BowflexMaster]

Ohhh ok.. Now I get it.


Yeah... I still think it'd be easier to just figure out what all you want to download, queue it up in a download manager and go to your friends house.

I have a feeling that what you're asking for would require all kinds of crazy script and code support that HFS does not have

[rejetto]

Yes some1, i understand your need, that's not the point. But what you are asking doesn't seem a "feature" for HFS but a new whole program (maybe inside HFS).
It seems somewhat unrelated to what HFS aims to.
