G6 is right, but maybe you could you build a article page with the external links for those downloads for your users to click on?? Just a thought ...

thanks

Mm, I guess what you really seeking for is a Link Manager then, rather than a Download Manager...

[General_Sun]

Arg, this is an extremely basic function. I have many files distributed throughout various servers. I should be able to reference files not in my immediate tp-downloads folder! There are bandwidth limitations on my server...

PLEASE PLEASE make this work in the next release! Currently the downloads section is extremely ill-featured...

Hence the reason it is called BETA SOFTWARE! Please be patient as this is all done on EVERYONES FREE TIME.

[General_Sun]

I understand that this is beta, I'm just asking for it to be high priority...

[Crip]

Priority is one thing a Beta is..

[Jordan]

a beta?

[Nikki Sixx]

The terms "alpha", "beta", and "release candidate" are so badly abused these days. Who remembers when alpha and beta releases were not publically available and release candidates meant a final version was just hours or a day away?

Gotta love the ever evolving programming world.

Please work on this, I have all my files hosted remotely and so far the download section is somewhere south of useless.

I would love this feature too in the upcoming release, would be very useful for my website

[Santa90]

Would be a great feature to incude. Very usefull

[anyoldcard]

I know this is going to sound like a smart ass but why don't you just find a good host/server?

we want to link to external websites not just our own files.

[G6Cad]

There are no feature in TP at this time to link to external downloads from other sites or servers.
Only internal links with in TP and SMF will work

[djrem]

Is it hard to code a modification so instead of upload you can submit an URL?

[G6Cad]

You can add an empty item

[misjka]

You can add an empty item

Yep, I have done it that way . And in the "article" of the DL item I have put the url to the external download . Sure, the Download-button will not work but that doesn't bother me, or my forums' visitors, that much .
