I’m not too familiar with Zip2Go and I can’t find much on Google about it. If I understand this right, you plug in the in URL and the ranges and it downloads and zips the files for you to save on your own system. That sounds good, but that means your server will be doing all the downloading for everyone.

I don’t think that is such a good idea. I think it would be nice to include the auto EZCode at the bottom of the post for those who actually use EZPics, then one click and they can download the pictures themselves.

The idea here is to make a tool that works with the TFP and keeps people coming here, the poster can use the EZCode once created as well as anyone who views the post, I think that is the best way to do it. It also minimizes the work your own server has to do.

I just threw a simple post generator up because I’m too lazy to type all that out, I found I wasn’t posting anymore at all. Since I use a free host, I don’t have any PHP or other scripting languages to generate a webpage, so I can’t test the hot linking of the pictures, that still has to be done in a preview post.

If you could make a page that would include a test picture and tacked the EZCode onto the end of the pictures, I think that should meet everyone’s needs just fine.
