Limit Attachment Downloads

About this hack:
This hack allows you to limit the number of attachments users can download during a given time period.

This hack is pretty flexible right now. You can choose how many attachments a user can download in a give time. That given time can be set to an hour, a day, a week, a month, 3 months, 6 months, or a year. You also set which attachment types get counted for this hack. Also, you set which usergroups get affected by this hack and how many downloads each usergoup can make.

If a user tries downloading past their limit, they will get an error message. This error message includes when they will be able to start downloading again.

Also, there is a cron job to remove from the table that this hack creates, all the rows that are past the limit date so your table doesn't grow forever and saves you space.

Funny how people wonder why a VB4 hack doesn't work on VB3.X forum.

Hi there,

I have just install this mod but I'm getting an Error. When I Activate the mod I try and download an Attachment but it is saying that my Download Limit has been reached and that I will be able to download again on the 01/01/70.

The weird thing is though I set is up for a daily limit and allowed Admin to download unlimited.

Please can someone help?

Thanks

How to limit download attach per day

Is there a way to activate this for Usergroup 1 aka: "Unregistered / Not Logged In" ??
I'm allowing visitors to download attachments, but would like to limit their downloads with this awesome mod!

I am not able to get this to work on 4.1.7

I have set VB Options as Yes and set it to 12 hours.

I have set the option to Yes in attachment types for all the types of attachments.

I have set the permissions in usergroup (Admin) to Yes and put the attachment limit as 1.

But when I try to download attachments, I could download them all. How does this work?
