This could be useful for those that don't wish to store files directly in their web folder. Not really necessary, but I am sure someone will find good use for it.

Why would i actually need to use this program? I could just click on the download link and it downloads. In my opinion it's unneccessary to start a program for that and put the link in the program to download it if i could simply just click on the link. Well i haven't tested this program nor am i actually sure if it does this but if it does what i think it does than it's kinda unneccessary.

First of all, it isn't a program, its simply a function for a php script. Second of all its for putting file links from external sites on yours, companies like Mozilla use it constantly.

This is terrible... It loads the entire file in to memory and leaves it there for each person who downloads it. Also, the broken cache headers makes sure that a user will never be able to download an updated version of the same file.

Actually there is. Say you want to download an mp3 file, but since the browser only allows you to play it and not download it.

Simply click right mouse button and save song and it downloads it. Just like a picture it works the same for songs. of course it doesnt work on youtube like that. But in my opinion it's useless. Im not saying it is, But i won't need it.

Wild's point is correct, you want to worry about the end user when making a website, not yourself. Although this "script" is poorly made, as Sausage pointed out.
