Hi there.
I'm packaging CS2D to Archlinux (here) but I'm having issues with the files' URLs, as they relies on 'cid' that changes for each connection that access the download page. See cid "101010101010" (fake) in this example:
http://www.unrealsoftware.de/get.php?get=cs2d_0120_linux.zip&p=1&cid=101010101010
My problem is that everytime an Arch user install the package, the package script automatically will download source files from Unreal... but will get wrong session, with wrong 'cid'.
Is there a permanent URL or something that I could put in the package and don't worry with the 'cid' ?
Thanks in advance

Easy.
Simply host your own server and use this php script:
Now when you go to this page it will automatically redirect you to the cs2d 0.1.2.0 linux archive.

This doesn't solve the cid issue he has. He wants to download directly without being redirected to another page.
@ rafaelff1:
No, this doesn't work. The CID (client id) is a security protection against hot linking. I don't want other sites to steal my traffic without showing unrealsoftware.de
Only a few files (like the CS2D dedicated server) can be downloaded directly. Sorry.

Quite disappointing, as this doesn't help me at all to provide packages of games from Unreal Software to my linux distribution, but thanks anyway. I got some shell scripting to work around this issue.

Actually I've tested it with wget and it works fine.

@ Rumine: You still didn't get the problem. The client ID is different for each IP. It's a hot linking protection...
Your link http://www.unrealsoftware.de/get.php?get=cs2d_0120_linux.zip&p=1&cid=12396057845 doesn't start the download for me for example because I would have to use another cid.

Then simply use php as a proxy, download it on the local machine and allow it to be cached to prevent dos to the 
server.
