Currently my repository contains direct download url's.  I've changed the button in the front end from 'visit' to 'download'.  This is all working out quite well. 

My question is, when I upload a 'file', which is really just a url to a download, is there any token I can add to manually set the filesize right then and there?  Since it's a link, the file size is always 64K.  I end up going into the database and changing it to the size which I know the file actually is.  I've looked through the docs, and of the form.html page, I did not see an available token to set the filesize.

Thanks.

hmm. since it's a link the filesize SHOULD be 0. There is no setting to set the filesize, it's calculated during the upload process. If you're just using the repository for URL's you can simply remove the [FILESIZE] tag from your template file and it's won't be displayed at all.

While technically it's a URL, to the user, it appears as a direct download.  Bascially I have a repository of pc game demos (justgamedemos.com).  The repository is right there on the front page.  When clicking on 'download' the file is actually downloaded from someplace else via the url link (saves me a ton of bandwith).  I still need to show the user the file size prior to download, but it's not a big deal, I can continue setting it via the DB since I would assume my situation is relatively unique.
