So, then you have 2 options:
1. Use download-by-redirect on a server that supports redirects (PHP on Windoze doesn't support symlinks prior to 5.3.something, so Linux might be better)
2. Use direct downloading by leaving redirect and streaming off. This has the unfortunate side effect of defeating all security protections for your download files because the download links can be shared for use by friends without any validation or control by your site. (redirect and streaming give you anti-theft control).
