You want to give them a URL to your site but have it download files from some other site? Would it be enough to support the URL on your site but do a redirect, which most people won't know or care about?

 

Help i am unable to post example links here

You can if you put them in [code] tags. I've already done it for you.

If you need to process that file on your server then you'll need to get a copy of it to your server somehow. Even if that copy is just in memory, there's no way around retrieving the contents. As for disk space, if you download a copy to a file then there's no reason why you can't delete the file when you're done with it.

 

Try using cURL to see if it behaves differently.
