Download Monitor is a plugin for uploading and managing downloads, tracking download hits, and displaying links.

Download Monitor requires Wordpress version 2.5 or above. Version 3.0 is a major update and many of the template and post tags have been changed and improved. See the usage page for full details before upgrading.

For older versions of wordpress use the older Download Monitor version 2.2.3 which is available from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/download-monitor/download/ (tested and working in Wordpress 2.0 and 2.3).

Features

• NEW: Built in Download Page function with built in sorting, pagination, and search. This was going to be a paid addon but i'm too nice - so please donate if you use it!
• Records file download hits but does not count downloads by wordpress admin users.
• Stats on downloads and a download log for viewing who downloaded when.
• Uses shortcodes (backward compatible with old [download#id] style).
• Editor button - upload and add a download stright from a post.
• Custom redirects to downloads.
• Add downloads to text widgets, the content, excerpts, and custom fields.
• Mirror support (selected at random) + mirror deadlink checker
• Download Categories.
• Member only downloads, can also have a minimum user level using custom fields.
• Localization support.
• Admin for managing downloads and also changing hit counts - just in case you change servers or import old downloads that already have stats.
• Custom URL's/URL hider using mod_rewrite.
