PHP Download manager?

[w1z4rd]

I am looking for a PHP application that does the following:

1) Allows users to login, put in an URL to a file, and have the server download that file to the server.
2) Im looking for something that I can set times for the downloads to happen
3) Im looking for traffic rate control (ie.. only download at 10KBs or something like that)
4) User authentication ( so that other users dont delete your files).

Basically I am looking for a WWW version of Getright or Free Download Manager that I can run on a server for a group of users. Basically something like Torrentflux but for normal downloads.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Why PHP? I can see that I can use something like this for my own personal use. I am just not sure that you will be able to do the traffic rate control with PHP.

Is your server running windows/unix/linux?

If on linux, the PHP can perhaps use wget in the background. mmm... thinking...

Linux... you can use wget for downloads and trickle for bw rate control?

 

[zamicro]

Using wget might work:
The download rate for retrieval by wget is capped by adding a limit rate, as per the following example:
wget --limit-rate=20k http://www.downloadexample.com/file.tar.gz
This will limit the retrieval rate to 20KB/s.

Perhaps I shoult email the coders of torrentflux, see if they have any ideas. Thats the right idea with the wrong technology for me. Instead of using bittorrent, I want it to use wget for http or ftp traffic....

EDIT: oicsaw wget was mentioned. my bad

Perhaps the scheduling can be done with at:

at 1pm wget --limit-rate=20k www.w1z4rds-porn.com

What about pausing and resuming? Do you need those functionality?

A client has several lines going into their offices. One is a very under utilized uncapped IS line. The company wants to be able to use the box and line to download large driver files / patches. Basically any large download that needs to be done (and its done pretty often).

I want to be have a field where a person can simply put in an URL, and the file gets downloaded at a scheduled time at a specific rate.

This sounds pretty much like what is needed!
