Can Links SQL do this?
Can Links SQL become something like shareware, freeware and free download site?

What I mean is something like http://www.download.com and http://www.hotfiles.com. Help really appreciate. Thank you.

Hi lesliez

Shure, it could if the upload would work right.(see the upload threads) I think Alex is working on it and will release a bugfix in near future.

Alex404,

Actually I'm not expecting something like able for the submitter to upload their file. I only want it to have the following info:

1: What OS of that software run on.
2: What is the file size.
3: Who is the developer.
4: A detail page introducing that software.
5: Download link.
6: And if it is possible, something more...

Can the auto-build detail page do something like this?

we don't use the sql version yet, but we have this type of thing running on one of our servers that runs a software site like download.com except again, we don't allow uploads, but we have fields in the database that are direct link downloads, as well as tons of other extra fields. We also have fields to allow reviewing of the software, so we actually review every piece of software before validating it. It's pretty excellent the way Links can be modified to suit so many purposes. We have another client that purchased links 2.0 to have as a online grocery store type of catalog. So there are really endless possibilities with what you can do with links.
