Hi, how can i know and change the status to "downloaded" if the file download is already done downloading? For example i want to download an mp3 file, since i used mime types i can't control and know that the download process is already finished..:~ Johnny F.

Well, I would assume they are not just doing a standard download that links to a file on a server then.

Change the status of what? :~ Most browsers will automatically keep track of the "visited" state of links, all you really need to do is set up a CSS class that has the look you want "downloaded" items to have... Rather than letting your web server serve files directly, you could write a script of some sort to serve them upon request, and record the download afterwards (being sure to avoid recording it if the transmission is interrupted). This isn't terribly reliable, and will probably add a fair bit of load to your server... You could force users to install a custom application that does nothing but download files from your site and notify you after the download completes successfully. This is sure to drive away potential users...

Sites that do this tend to use their own custom download manager.
