I am still new to Links and Downloads. I read the manual quite closely, but I still can't seem to make it work with vBulletin. I think I've taken the necessary steps. I have enabled can_access_links, etc. and set the necessarily daily downloads and bandwidth allowances. For testing purpose, I uploaded a couple of files as attachments and set the daily downloads to 2 for administrators. But for some reason, I can still download these attachments many times. And when I click on "view hits," there is no information about anyone having downloaded the attachments. What am I missing? For your reference, I am including the following info. on the LDM admin panel:

---------------------------------
Links and Downloads Manager
Code 2.2.1
MySQL 4.1.21-log
PHP 4.4.4
local_file_root 0
local_file_root_prefix
allow_url_fopen Yes
cURL Yes
GD2 Yes
open_basedir Unset
post_max_size 25M
upload_max_filesize 25M
upload_max_filesize>=post_max_size
------------------------------------

BTW, I don't quite understand how the category function works. All I need for now is to limit the viewing/downloading of attachments I upload along with the posts I create.

Thanks for your help for this newbie.
