Hello,

```
   We're using video streaming site with nginx and most of the users

```

download videos via IDM(Internet Download Manager). We want to prevent  
this  
downloading by sending videos into fragments so IDM will not be able to  
download full video instead it’ll cut the video into fragments of KBs  
and  
that way user will not be able to play video after downloading it in  
fragments just like dailymotion does.

We’ve also checked connections per ip module of nginx but that is not  
suitable for our environment.

Is there any module nginx support to fulfill our requirements?

Pardon me for bad english.

Regards
