  • Mystic Web Download Option

    From Knight Shadow@21:3/248 to All on Saturday, August 29, 2026 10:57:57
    Hi Mystic SysOps,

    Does your board offer the ability for your users to generate a web link to download files as an alternative to the "regular" protocols?

    I've seen that on some boards where you can elect to have a temporary web download link generated that they can then click on to transfer via HTTP for faster speeds on larger files.

    If you have done this, were you able to do it natively in Mystic (I couldn't figure it out based on the documentation) or did you use a mod? If modded, which did you use?

    Thanks!

    Hi Mystic SysOps,

    to download files as an alternative to the "regular" protocols?

    It did, before I upgraded to a49. That was one of the features that seems to have broken with it. The other was if you change the email password for password recovery, it sets it to all caps and kind of breaks that too.

    I've been thinking of trying to figure out a way to mod it into the system until he comes back and fixes it; it's been I think 3 years since a49's release? Just looked, about 2 1/2. I figure that's enough time for me to try and figure a mod way to get that working again.

    I only even put any thought into it because even though I've got a warning asking people to please tell me what their username and email is so I can do this manually, it hardly ever happens. =\

    Ah interesting, bummer.

    Right on. If you do ever get to it, please let me know. I'll also see if I can do something as well.
