How do you limit the number of downloads a user may make simultaneously? Is there a virtual server directive that will do it?

Thanks

I believe you should google for the term "mod_throttle" it's helped me out in these situations before.

Also, you may find a mix of using mod_rewrite to transform all image/movie requests through a PHP script which uses ram based sessions provides nearly unlimited control over serving content.

Thanks. I did check google before I posted but didn't get what I needed under the search string I used.. just some stuff about limiting server threads, which I don't want to do.

mod_throttle looks really interesting

My solution to a similar problem was php.

It's logging the ip temporarily to mysql (or a plain text if needed) while downloading. Then removes it from the list either when downloading finished or canceled by user. You may also cap the bandwith with same script if needed.
