 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to setup a stock video site with this plugin. I’m using a rackspace
   CDN cloud account to host my content for customer downloads. I see where I can
   attach a file to sell, but is there a way I can link to one instead? Basically,
   since the files are so large, I don’t want to host them on the same server that
   my wp site is on.

 * Hi Stephen,
 * We plan on building an extension for Amazon S3, but, don’t have any plans for
   building a “RackSpace CDN” option. That’s not to say we won’t, but there simply
   hasn’t been that much interest.
 * We also plan on changing the upload field so it’s just an input field (with Browse/
   Upload). That way, you’ll be able to paste in a link to the file at RackSpace
   CDN.
 * Cheers,
    Thad

 * Can you say when you will be changing the upload field to an input field?

 * Sharon,
 * There should be an input field next to the upload field. Keep in mind if you 
   paste an external link in the upload field the file will **not** be “protected”
   and anyone can download that original file.
