Moodle 2.0.2 - URL won't allow download

Moodle 2.0.2 - URL won't allow download

I have some large (over 50 Meg) video files that I am storing outside of Moodle because I need to reference them in several places. The documentation says that you have a download option when you select Resource, URL - but this option doesn't actually exist.

I have that option if I upload files, but not if I connect to a file.  Any ideas?  I really don't want to have to upload them into Moodle as there are going to be over 50 of these large files altogether.

Hi Enid,

Try adding this to the end of your video URL:  ?forcedownload=1

The ?forcedownload is not working in Google Chome - it just opens the file automatically.
