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.
Please use carefully and always backup your database before upgrading. Post reports of problems and suggestions for enhancements in 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.

Yes, this depends on the security settings on your web server
- if your site is using Apache as web server, this can be configured to prohibit directory browing - see for example http://forums.devshed.com/apache-dev...help-9870.html
- provided you have access to web server directories outside directory root, you can also configure LDM to store files outside the web root (settings local_file_root and local_file_root_prefix). This will prevent the problem in the first place
- you can also create an empty file called index.html in /vbb/dl (the next version of LDM 2.3.0 will do this for you)
It's interesting - no-one had noticed this problem for nearly four years, then I've had two reports in the past month or so
It is possible to make a extra download button under the file ?
You need to edit the links_linkbit template (or one of the other linkbit template, if you are not using the 'modern' linkbit), which I am afraid are rather complicated templates.
To add another download button, you need to insert the following code:
I'm not sure that it is possible to do this within LDM, because I think it requires privileged access to the user's PC. This is a security risk that is blocked to scripts.
However, LDM does work smoothly with (at least some) third-party download managers, which will handle resumes.

yes,flashget can handle resumes, but it also show real address of the file.
Can we hide the real address? did we need use local_file_root&local_file_root_prefix ?
