_____It seems to work under 3.8.4 . However, at first it didn't. Here's what I did:

_____When I first installed it, I didn't see the link, despite being the Super Administrator. However, I can't speak for most people but I had added myself to additional user groups for the sake of adding additional rank images to myself. Unfortunately, those additional user groups didn't have the permission to view "Who Downloaded?" so I didn't see the link.

_____So then I went to each of those additional user groups and added the permission to see the "Who Downloaded?" link. Therefore it would seem that if a user is going to be able to see the link, he needs to only belong to user groups that have that permission. If he belongs to even one user group that doesn't, he won't be able to see it.

_____Therefore, if possible I have a few suggestions for the next version. They are:

1) Super Administrators (not regular Administrators) can always see the link no matter what.

2) Let there be an option or a way to have the permissions work the way they seem to work elsewhere in VBulletin. That is, if a user belongs to a user group that has a "Yes" permission, that will override any other user groups he's in, that has a "No" permission.

Note:

_____I should note that I do prefer the other method, where one "No" permission will over ride any "Yes" permissions. However, that is not the way the rest of VBulletin seems to work.

_____Here's an example: Suppose you have a Super Moderator, and then you add him to the Registered Users group as an additional user group. If you do so, that Super Moderator wouldn't lose any permissions at all. In fact, he might gain a permission or two if there happens to be anything Registered Users can do, that Super Mods ordinarily can't. Yet he'd still be able to do all of the Super Mod stuff. This is despite the fact that there are many things that Super Mods can do, that ordinary Registered Users can't. This is because "Yes" overrides "No."

_____However, with this modification, it seems that "No" overrides "Yes." I had to point out this particular bit of confusion, since it might be the cause of problems that others have been experiencing.
