Add this to the bottom of your .htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^download\d+)\d+)/u/.*$ index.php?a=files&s=download&cid=$1&fid=$2&u=1
RewriteRule ^download\d+)\d+)/.*$ index.php?a=files&s=download&cid=$1&fid=$2

Then update your templates so that they show something like

/download:$cid:$fid/$filename

this will give a filename like,

/download/123:92/mygame.tgz

which can be friendlier than using stuff like index.php?a=files&s=download&cid=123:92 in shells etc

Missed this post before, but it's definitely an improvement. The files.php code also needs to define the $filename variable or just changing the templates will bomb. We've deployed this on SmaugMuds.org now after a user requested it. .........................

Thankfully, neither of my forums are the type that see frequent downloads so I'll just wait to see how this got implimented in the next release of QSFP rather than bother y'all to explain where in the templates you'd make the change Kiasyn mentioned or how yo'd go about defining the $filename variable in files.php... on the other hand, those might be helpful info for someone else... .........................
