Re: Download multiple sound files?

Hey all, Thanks for the good suggestions. I think Stut and TG here are on the right track with a zip file kind of thing. They should be able to handle that and the php/zip stuff looks good to. Much thanks! Skip tg-php@gryffyndevelopment.com wrote:

Stut beat me to it... downloading multiple files at once is probably best done with compressing them and just downloading the one file. You could possibly rig a situation where the user downloaded one file, then a certain number of seconds later, the page redirects to the next file to download... but that would be slow and not terribly efficient. Another option is to use a non-PHP solution. List all the links to the files they want to download and use a download manager like Download Accelerator Plus (DAP), GetRight, umm.. some "*zilla" program I believe did it, or something like the "DownloadThemAll!" Firefox extension. -TG = = = Original message = = = Hey all, I have a need to allow a user to download multiple sound files (mp3s, typically) from a single link. I've been looking at various solutions via Google, but have not seen one yet to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me a lead on how this can be done? Thanks! Skip
