I could not find this through the search function of this mod thread, so I am asking here:

Is there a way to restrict members from downloading files until they have made X amount of posts?

Also, I just found a member that is bypassing my download restriction for non-supporting members. I have a limit of 3 downloads per day for free members; however, he figured out that he can change his IP address every 3 downloads, and go all day long. So, I banned him, but it shows a major deficiency to this software. I make restrictions based upon usergroups, with named users in them. Why is the download software restricting based upon a different variable that I cannot control? That is not a good thing.

How can I change this?
