Hey, okay... i wanna know... should i make it so that for every download, a cookie is set to last 24/h's? Or would that be a bad idea?
I want to make it so that people don't give the download hit's every 24/h. |

Cookes are easy to fake. Don't rely on them to store critical information. Instead use sessions. Every visitor gets a unique number, stored in a cookie. That is then used to lookup data on the server which says how long it's been since they last downloaded a file.
