That would solve my problem, haven't thought of that solution myself. Thanks, I'll look into it :) But, I am fairly competent with PHP, but could anyone give me a pointer on how to download files from other sites?

Of course I could do it with a SSH-client, but I'm just thinking wild here. Some things I'm curious about: 1. When I download a file, where is the info about mime-type stored, and is it possible for a webengine (PHP) to change it? 2. Can I create a serverside application that downloads from an external site into a buffer (so I can manipulate the info some how). Then sends this out (so I would get a download-dialog) to my client.

Hey there. I'm sitting behind a firewall with an ISA-server which denies downloading of almost all filetypes. I can understand why they've blocked downloading of executive files like MSI and EXE, but often I want to download PSD, AI, TIFF and RAR - and I do not want to go down to the IT-department to make them do it for me. That's why I thought, isn't it possible to set up a site which acts like a proxy and downloads the files then renames them/changes the mimetype to an allowed type like the ones DOC, TXT, ZIP have or something like that? Do anyone of you know of a way I could this with a server-side language like PHP? Thanks :) Edit: Should this post maybe have been put under the "Hacks, Mods & Coding" forum? If so - my bad.
