Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Limit Attachment Downloads

Limit Attachment Downloads 1.3

The writing of this hack was sponsored by: sama3y.net

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.

I know this mod is said to be for 3.6.8, but I seriously don't plan on upgrading my 3.6.7PL board at this point. If there aren't much datebase and table changes between the 2 versions, this mod should still work for 3.6.7PL right?

EDITED:
Yes, it works for 3.6.7PL. Thank you very much for this wonderful mod.
