==================

After an upload, send a request to /downloads/cg_upload_complete to notify the system:
target url: http://www.creativecrash.com/downloads/cg_upload_complete/$item_id

This can just be a simple GET request to a url that includes the item id. E.g: 

http://www.creativecrash.com/downloads/cg_upload_complete/11971
