Calculating How Much Of A File Has Been Downloaded????

Hi guys,

Any of you programming experts know of any resources that would allow a person to work out if a said file of X size has been downloaded successfully by the person who initiates the download by clicking a download link or one that is forced downloaded after say X amount of seconds of the download file has been loaded?

Cheers

    Your website cannot force connection to clients computer (except offer the download option). but you could figure out how much of a file someone has downloaded to an extent, it would not be 100% accurate as you could only check when it grabs another chunk to send. A better option would be limit the life time of the download. You have to download in 15 minutes else you loose out on this download. Which is fairly easy to do.

    Flex/ActionScript has the ability to monitor the progress of a download. You could then perform a certain action (write a record to the database or whatever) when the download has completed.
