Download redirect to amazon s3 storage : how to ?

Hello,

I'd like to propose downloadable audio files from my zencart website but I'd like the files to be hosted on a external server (namely amazon s3) ... is that possible ? how to set it up ?

thanks

one point I forgot : the products I propose needs to be available as download, CD or DVD ... I understand that I need to set up attributs for customers to choose which option they are interested in but how to disable the shipping costs for the download attribute ?

Zen Cart automatically charges no shipping on a download attribute because it knows it won't be shipping it.

ok thanks .. last thing that I'm not sure to understand properly :
the "maximum download count option" is the maximum time the file can be downloaded in total on the website or the maximum time a customer can download the product ?

If you're referring to original Zen Cart features, it's referring to number of download hits allowed per purchase. (ie: allowing them a few extra hits in case they have troubles the first time)
