Yes, indefinitely deep.

3.)last but not least i wanted to ask can permissions be set for catagories?for example say i want to allow anyone in forums guests and all access to download files from "Audio".But i only want members to be able to download from the "video" catagory.can this be done?

These two questions are related. The 'associate with forums' process is used to control who can access which categories/downloads. By default, it is turned off, which means that everyone who accesses the hack can see and access everything that is available. The hack is fully stand alone and it is not necessary to associate categories/entries with forums unless you want to control access to individual categories/entries.

To control access, you need to (create/have created) forums with the required access permissions, e.g. member only. When you create a link or a category, you 'point' the link/category at that forum to tell the hack to pick up the appropriate permissions. The links/categories do not form part of the forum, they just pick up the forum's access permissions.

Clear?
