Good info.  Yeah, only problem is that the zip file will have 6 files in it, each around 40 MB each.  About 3.8 GB of mp3s. 

I think I will just put in a zip file the instructions file (txt) and create a xhtml page with the textual links to each of the mp3 files.  Kinda like a download table page type thingy.

Thanks bro.

I checked out dozens of software packages before ProductCart as we specialise in downloads and they all use absolute download links.   Even the so called dedicated to this area, Actinic package or services such as PayLoadz which ultimately seemed far more constraining than ProductCart.

We haven't found a problem with big downloads at all - encoding at 192kbs Mp3 we find a hugely growing base of people are quite happy with 80-110MB downloads (unless you're talking 1GB style downloads).

You could set up a 'book' as a category with the parts being products beneath it.   We've done this for some of our double albums for example.   With a tiered structure that facilitates this.   It's all at http://www.wovenwheatwhispers.com

The other option would be to set up Prodict Cart as the Content Management System but not process the downloads via it.  Then with separate links within one product cart product you could allow people to add multiple products to a basket (this would be easy for example in PayPal).

cheers

Does anybody know how to modify the product settings so that one could download multipul files (without putting them in one huge zip file), once they  purchase the product?  As it stands now,  it seems only one absolute URL can be placed in the  Downloadable File Location, which can only point to one file.

We are trying to create a downloadable audio book and would like for the person to download the book,  which is broken up into multipul files.  If they  downloaded the whole thing at once  the download time would be  much too long.]]> Thu, 29 Jun 2006 15:29:59 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/downloadable-product-settings_topic268_post771.html#771
