 * Hi all!
 * I have a file which is stored on a different server and I would like the gallery
   thumbnail to reference the URL on that server.
 * The reason for this is that the URL on the separate server uses a mechanism for
   counting downloads and we would like to count downloads coming from our wordpress
   site as well.
 * Any info on the possibility of configuring a custom URL for the file download?
 * To make myself clear – I want to change the attachment file url of my file, but
   that field is disabled in the edit attachment form.
 * Thanks!
