Me? You? Something else?

oh, sorry. I asked is there a way to reset the download count on a per user basis? I have the download limit set but I could really use the ability to reset it for some people if they run out of download attempts for technical reasons.

thanks again :)

Would the downloads provided in such a setup be secure? In other words, would only members of the forums be able to download it? Would there be any way for a member to give a valid url of some sort to a non-member so that they could download it without joining? I was thinking about making a paid membership site for certain piece of software I want to sell and was wondering if this would be a good solution.

I would say that this is a great solution for what you want. The downloads are 100% secure as far as I can tell. You cannot give your friend a link that would work. Im sure Andrew could explain it better than me, but I have paid membership download section and it works amazing well for it.

I've just had a few days vacation, so I've only been answering the quick questions. I think this is straightforward, but will give you a full answer over the weekend.

Provided you set up the correct permissions, the download links are fully secure. Furthermore, if you configure lDM to store files outside the web space, they are also completely secure against someone guessing the filename (which is not easy anyway as uploads are stored using random filenames)

Hmmm, how come i have the below extra fields on my forums profile...

My Recent LDM Hits

My Recent LDM Entries

nothing in them. where are the settings for them please, Andrew?

Also, is it possible to stop a certain usergroup adding entries to a parent category for example

I have

Mixes
--Trance
--Techno
--House

etc etc

I only want a certain usergroup to be allowed to add entries to the Trance, Techno and House categories only, NOT the parent Mixes section

I've had a look through the settings but can not work out how do set it like this

Andrew, I am currently having issues with a few people having severely slow download speeds unless they use a download manager, and when they do use a dlm it can sometimes stop before its complete. I am currently distributing very large files (up to 1GB) and have the file on 2 servers different than ldlm (1 is a mirror). One solution I am considering is splitting the files into smaller sizes (500MB), also I will either upgrade to B1 or downgrade to 2.8. Do you think any of this will help?
Thanks
