I just wish that the title link work the same as icon, and there is another link say "download" for clarification's sake. But the majority of people won't need it and it's really a big deal to me. In the future if you consider to add an option in admin that allow to download or not, if no download allowed LDM will be streaming only, it would be great.

Thanks - I'll take these ideas into account.

1. I wonder how it work if I set limit of say, 20 mb a day, and there are 2 files that are 15mb and 15mb, would LDM allow a user to download the first one and not the second one since it's over limit? And what if the user try to open 2 windows at the same time?

2. Is it possible to allow only one download connection per user? That woud make bandwidth limitation easier for you, I guess for number 1 question.

3. Is it possible to limit number of files to download and NOT the bandwidth? Say if there is dedicated music site only, where most music files are 3, 4 mb, it would be better to limit like 5 downloads a day instead of 20mb total in bandwidth.

4. Lastly, just wondering if it's possible to make this limit bandwidth apply not for the whole but just category only.

I hope I'm not asking too many . I know you probably haven't had time to code it yet, but those are suggetions/questions only, in no way I want these and if I do it's not in one release. I just brainstorming some ideas here in case I forget so take anything you like .

I started on this last night, and your suggestions are very helpful.

1) I think the right solution is to allow the user to download until she has exceeded the limit, rather than stopping before the access starts. Also, sometimes one doesn't know the size of the download until it actually takes place.

3) This is a good idea and easy to implement

4) It will be difficult to apply different bandwidth limits per usergroup and per category. One solution might be to have a per-category flag to indicate whether limits apply to the category or not, but a global limits set per-usergroup on actual limits for restricted categories.
