When i exclude a Category and someone goes to a file in that category, all he gets is a "Invalid ID" message, instead of a "This Download is only for registered Users. Please register to be able to download this". This would make much more sense for people coming and wondering what a "Invalid ID" is, which sounds more like the download link doesn?t work to them.

So you have to admit, setting permissions like i said is much better for people to understand. Exclusion is not really the solution here.

Categories or even single Files should be able to be set to a certain usergroups / s only. At least Categories. For files too that would be maybe too much to ask, but the categories should be never the less. It is that way in ANY other Download Script, if its an external Software or a Mod for other Forum Softwares, like i had before.
