You are reading the Drake CMS Official Forums archive, available for historical purposes only.
Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
I noticed that drake has a not-so-cool downloads manager (for
example it doesn't hide the file path), so i wanna suggest to
take a look at phpATM
(PHP Advanced Transfer Manager): Quote:
Main

* It’s completely free
* Multilangual (more than 20 languages supported) *

(optional) * User statistics
(uploaded/downloaded/e-mailed files, last access) *

Possibility to use server mailer or your own SMTP *
Highly configurable (see include/conf.php)
Requirements
1. A webserver
(Apache 1.3+ recommended) or web hosting account running on any
major Operating System 2. PHP 4.0.0+ (PHP 5.x is
officially NOT supported, but should work too) 3. Web
browser (such as Mozilla Firefox)
phpATM is
released under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of
the License or at your option any later version.
It is not a matter of good or bad, what
matters is: will it integrate into Drake/Lanius: - will it
support all databases Drake/Lanius runs on (including
Gladius!) - Will it read the users from Drake/Lanius and be
able to grant/refuse access based upon group-membership?
Just my 2 cents
AWRog
p.s. My favorite
has always been the filemanager of phpBB; you might also have a
look at paFileDB

It's just because you did not enable the download-via-PHP
option
Better downloads management
