What this is and does
LDM is a general-purpose tool for managing libraries of links and files, and handling uploads and downloads in a flexible way, while tracking and control user access. It has a range of integrated media players and a large library of 'plugin' extras.
Installation and Usage Explained in the on-line Wiki, with a brief explanation in the file instructions.txt in the release zip. The recent revision history is given in the first post of this thread.

14.06.09 Version 2.3.0 is now the the officially-supported version. Works with 3.7 and vb 3.8. Please post comments in this thread
22.06.08 Version 2.2.9-post1 - This is the previous supported version. Works fine with all versions of vb 3.6 and vb 3.7. All standard features except profile integration and forum prefix selection work fine with vb 3.8.

The problem is caused by parsing the bbcodes in the entry description for the NVidia driver in your drivers category - many many unnecessary nested bbcodes.
LDM takes a long time decoding these, but so does vbulletin - if you copy and past the description into a forum post, it shows exactly the same slow page generation time (although only the first time round because posts are cached after the first time they are generated). (This is not surprising, because LDM calls the vbulletin routines to do the job)
I will see if it is possible to cache parsed descriptions, although I think the real fix is in your hands.
Probably from copy and pasting. I will correct that.
Would it be possible to just pull the name and avoid all of that?
Oh and I'm trying to add some new entries into a category and it keeps setting the "Display Order" as 0. This is separating my new entries from the old. I can't see the setting in the main administration settings to stop this happening without manually changing it to '1'. Any ideas?
Would it be possible to just pull the name and avoid all of that?
It seems that way on the surface - in fact that was the way it was originally done - but it isn't that straightforward. The code doesn't know which pieces of information about an entry will be used in the template. Quite a number of the feature requests here are about including a piece of information displayed in one linkbit within another. So the code has to assume that each template may need everything, so has to do all the preprocessing.
The WAV's will play in IE7 but not Firefox, why? How can I get them to play in Firefox?
Are you getting a message that reads something like 'unable to find plugin'? I imagine that the Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox does not handle wav files. Probably one of the other players will work, but off-hand I'm not sure which. Go to ldm/admin/media players. You'll find wav listed as one of the file types that windows media player can handle. Try removing it from that player and adding it to, e.g., real player.
