Protected downloads

[Didjee]

Hi,

I'm looking for a solution for the following:

In a website we are building at the moment some files may only be downloaded after filling in a email address. After posting the form the direct link to the download will be sent to the given email address.

In the backend there should be an option to label a downloadable file as 'protected'.

What will be best way to achieve this?

I'm running out of time but quickly wanted to mention: $config->pagefileSecure = true; in your /site/config.php file (see the comments in the file and search google for more info). You might also want to look at the wireSendFile() function in /wire/core/Functions.php, if you'd like to protect the file in another manner.
