Re: What are the benefits of download-pages?

Hello PSiegmann@xxxxxxx,

To avoid file to be downloaded directly by download managers and to get $ from the shown commercials When u got on the new page the number of commercials are shown and you need to wait - examine this ads :) and maybe clicking on smth :)

Hi newsgroup.

Sites which host a large download archive (think download.com) often
times don't give you a desired file directly, but redirect you to a
page, where you wait usualy 5 secs, and then the download appears..

What is the benefit of that? Why not offer the file immediately.. is
it for performance? I ask, because I am currently working on a site,
which will host too some sort of download-archive. My current design
is to give the file immediately out, without the 5 sec wait on a
redirection page.
