Is there a way to limit the max folder size...<br>
For Instance, let say that I create a user upload folder, but I want to limit the total file size to 10 MB (They can have a many files as they want as long as it doesnt exceed 10 MB limit).

.htaccess?
control panel?

Yes, I believe this can be done with .htaccess (as long as your host allows you to make these overrides). I have seen Gallery do this.

Although I have never myself dealt with this, maybe having the following directives will help you with your research:

php_value post_max_size 20971520
php_value upload_max_filesize 20971520

These came from my Gallery installation on one of my sites.

Your host may or may not allow you to make these php.ini overrides through .htaccess...

I believe those are only related to posting and uploading though, not actually restricting how much can be stored in one location

It may be something that your host needs to set up in Apache

Hey, Thanks anyway...

I want to build folders where certain users can upload files, but I dont want them hogging up my servers space. Just give them, lets say 2mb apiece.

You need an upload module with quotas. Is this a specific application or what?

Yes....

I want to allow certain users to upload mp3s to "their" audio player.

The download module I have installed in NSN GR downloads 760

The plan I had was to: make each candidate a folder to upload to. Then have the audio player read from that folder. I would then assign them group upload priveledges to that folder.

The only "upload" module that I could find was uploadit2 but it didnt work to well. It would time out after every time I submitted an upload (buggy). So I left it alone.
