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.

From version 3.3 a new database structure is being used so ensure you backup your database before upgrading (this was changed to enable multiple category support).

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).

Plugin contains filetype icons from the Fugue Icon Pack by Yusuke Kamiyamane (http://pinvoke.com).

Sustainable Plugin Development - and Your Privacy

Download Monitor is a participant in the Sustainable Plugins Sponsorship Network (SPSN) - http://pluginsponsors.com/. The SPSN model offers modest sponsorships to plugin authors in return for a small amount of screen real estate on plugin options pages. The SPSN sponsor messages can be switched altogether: just visit the Config page.

IMPORTANT PRIVACY INFORMATION: NO INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE DETAILS OF ANY KIND, REGARDING EITHER YOU OR YOUR SITE, will be collected or shared as a result of displaying Sustainable Plugins Sponsorship Network (SPSN) sponsor messages. Sponsors receive only aggregate reports of impressions on a worldwide per-plugin basis, NOT on impressions or on any other activity at any individual site which happens to be using a plugin.
