Hi all,

Is there a way to find out when a user has completed a download?

I ask this because I have a current system where users download files,
however due to serious bandwidth issues I need to limit the amount of
downloads at one time.

Ideally, I want to be able to allow a maximum of 5 members to access
the download page at one time (with one download per person at one
time), and then let the next user download.
I was thinking, have a db table, file... with a counter, increment the
counter with every file downloaded started, and then decrement the
counter on completion of the file, but how do I know when the user is
finished the download?
Am I over complicating this?

Has anybody got any suggestions that may help?
I would really aprechiate any help or suggestions at all.

Thanks in advance.
