I propose you change this so the link is present, but the user is shown an customizable error message template instead. This will allow the admin to illustrate why the user cannot download the link and remove any confusion.

Thanks - this behaviour was introduced in response to another request. It depends on the value of *protected_link* on the admin/settings page:

0: no hyperlink shown
1: normal link, generates a 'no permission' + login template if no access available
2: link jumps to registration dialogue

The default value is 0.

I can add another option to offer a custom template (message + login + register?) if you think this is necessary.
