DISCLAIMER: This hook will not work out of the box. This hook is intended for advanced users. Free support on installing and configuring XSendfile support on your respected webserver will not be guaranteed. Please do your research, read the README and understand what XSendfile actually is and how it works before attempting to use this hook.

 

This hook enables XSendfile support for IP.Downloads. For forum attachments, please use this hook:

[K-34] XSendfile Support 1.0.0

Category: Performance

Last Updated 15 minutes ago

XSendfile basically negates the need to have PHP handle file transfers. This is favorable for many reasons, especially if you run a forum that hosts a lot of large downloads.

Apache: https://tn123.org/mod_xsendfile/

Nginx: http://wiki.nginx.org/XSendfile

Lighttpd: http://redmine.light...HTTPD-send-file

 

Important notes:

• When using this hook, you cannot restrict the maximum number of simultaneous downloads. As the download is being handed over to the web server, IP.Downloads will not know when a user actually has a download in progress. There is no way around this.
• Speed throttling will only work with Nginx, as Nginx (as far as I know) is the only web server that supports download rate limiting with X-Sendfile.
