[dokuwiki] Re: Securing Downloads

Sorry guys,

i never estimated someone that the person is stupid, just lazy ;-)

maybe i get too much pissed off as consultant with customers or i watch dr. 
house too much

i was misunderstanding the problem,  i thought'u place a link to a certain 
directory with files, not the file itself

nice to know

i apologize

cu
