LastCallGames Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Is there a way I can set up a page that when people go to a certain URL, a download will start automatically and download an .mp3 file? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I don't see how. I use Firefoxe and for a download, it will ask me if I want to open or save the file, then if save, where. I do not want to visit a page and see something downloading by its self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevevan Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 (edited) As Don said, the download will start, but most people have their browser ask where they want the file stored. Plus, I'm a bit on the paranoid side...if I clicked on a URL and something automatically started to download, I'd leave that site rather quickly and immediately start a scan of my computer. The other thing you might want to consider is bandwidth. If your link is rather popular (or maybe hot-linked), then your bandwidth would go through the roof rather quickly.

LastCallGames Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 (edited) That's what I mean, the download manager would still come up. The download is for the online puzzle I have on my site, The Journey.

TCH-Bruce Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Take a look at hotscripts.com. I'm sure you can find something there useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
