(I know I can take the link off the navbar, but I really want guests to be able to see it, since it is a major selling point for joining my site).

thanks!

Yes, this really should be available directly within LDM. It requires a small plugin.

Go to vbulletin/admincp/products and plugins/add plugin

Create a new plugin called (e.g.) Block Unregistered Users, select the Links and Downloads Manager product, and the ldm_start hook
Enter the following code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] <= 1) {
    print_no_permission();
    exit;
}

Make sure you tick the 'is active' box.
