What this is and does

LDM is a general-purpose link and file manager, which handles user uploads and downloads in a flexible way. A range of media players is integrated into LDM and others are included as plugin extras. LDM is described below in the first post of this thread, which also contains a brief list of the currently-known bugs.

This release of LDM works correctly with all VB versions 3.6.x and recent versions of vbadvanced.

Documentation, screen shots, etc, are provided as a Wiki at http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...nloads_Manager

Thank you to everyone who has tested, given suggestions, helped with the translations, etc.

With large files on a remote site, it never gets everything - LDM uses all its allowed resources.

The problem may be somewhere else but I would need to access your site to find out.

ok i am trying to stream it with the stream feature, not the full url.. the full url works. But even streaming using the stream feature (so that the actual url of the file is not located on the web), dont work either.. will shoot you a PM with my site details.. thanks.

Sorry I searched but didn't see anything other than another person asking the same question. After upgrading to 3.6.7 I get

Sorry - link is not currently available

when I try to click a link to download. I was running 2.2.5 and just upgraded to 2.2.7 thinking that might fix it but I'm getting the same message. Everything worked fine on 3.6.4 a few days ago. Is this a simple fix?

How do I make it so that I can set no restrictions on certain user groups downloads and uploads?

Thanks a lot.

Select "Tidy hits table" and the date range you want to delete hits for. don't forget to archive it before (if you like!)

Thanks for your reply, but i need to delete the history of ONE user.
For example, i need to delete all the download history from user "test".
Do you understand?
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.

Is there a way to restrict certain groups from downloading based on the time of the day?
