Downloads available to members only?

Not sure if there is a way to do it or not, I searched but with no luck.

I have files that I want to make available to users of my board. If they're a loged in user, it will show the files, if they're not loged in it will just have a link for them to register.

Is there anyway to do this?

*sorry if this isn't the right forum to post in, I'm still new to vb.org posting.

It's built in. Just edit your Guest usergroup.

well, I want to avoid it being an attachment in the post. These files are big, and most of the time VB will show me "page cannot be displayed", while trying to attach such a big file.

We have this, it's not a hack, it's an add in.

We can serve files from 10 different catagories depending on the users product groups checked. The security is from the Vb database. The user must be logged into the BB to access the files dowload page via a second login, this is controlled with expiring cookies. Three tables are added to the vb db - Users, files, and Download stats.
We use phpmyadmin to manage it, but we're working on an actual admin page.

So there is a hack available to get a download database for registered users on the forum?
Where can I find that?
