Hi everybody!!
Can any body help me with such php script, which will save trafic? I mean something like to make some quota (for example 5 mb per day) for registered users, so i need something like this download system.
Thanks!

There are many script archives on the internet, you'd be best off searching them for a script that might match your purposes. You're going to need a database system for that, which means your server will need to support the scripting language you are using, and the database you use.
I would strongly recommend against using asp for this unless you have a real database on your server, not Access, which is not any good for web work.
PHP and Mysql are the standards nowadays, they are powerful and free, and run on almost all Linux/ Unix web servers. There are thousands of great php scripts out there.

I don't trust plans that cheap. The simple fact is that one tech support call would wipe out two months profit. I used to use cheap plans, then one day I looked back at the last year or two and realized I had spent literally several weeks of time trying to debug server issues all caused by incompetent network admins, and cheap management, etc. Avoid cihost.
Sometimes these cheap ones are ok, I would never risk it, I don't like spending hours trying to get my scripts to work, sometimes days, only to find out that it was a server configuration error. You can get high end hosting, freebsd, for about 2 times more a month, with amazing tech support, excellent networking guys, etc. Pair is a good one, there are few others too that are worth looking at.
I usually write my own stuff, I don't like most downloaded scripts, except the large packages like phpbb or oscommerce.
Try this section of hotscripts.com
or this one:
php.resourceindex.com
Or this one might do what you want.
If you search better you'll find stuff easier, I found those with this google search:
php script download quota
hotscripts has been around a while, I can't remember the otherones, phpfreaks.com might have links to download stuff.

Honestly, one big reason I don't use downloaded scripts is it takes so long to find one that is well written and does what you want. I do some downloaded scripts, which is fun, I like it, I support them pretty well, all gpl stuff of course, but I'm not very interested in most scripts I see, coding just isn't very good as a rule, sometimes it's great of course, it's just very hit and miss..
I've installed another one, didn't like it at all, for somebody I knew, then had to deal with another one, that was really badly written, fixing a bad script is harder than writing your own usually. Take programming classes, learn how to program, php is fun, if you learn to program maybe one day you can actually make money doing web stuff.
Download quota is almost free, if you think the 5-10 hours you've spent, and might spend looking for a free one, are worth more than the 10 dollars or whatever they want, that's an odd way to value your time.
But again, I almost never use downloaded scripts, sometimes I might take a look at one to see how they do something. I've used I think one in the last few years, and even that one took me a long time to get working right, it was an ftp download thing I think.
Technically you really don't have much to program, users in a database, file accesses compared to users, total file size for user per day, that's really not that hard to do if you really need to do it. No, I'm not going to do it for you, writing a decent script takes a decent amount of time.
