This plugin seemed to be missing two critical features:
1) Permalinks are flat numbers - yuck. I really want the filename to be the prominent part of the permalink.
2) There was no easy way to create a page which lists the files available for download.
With just these two changes it would be a very useful plugin though.

1) It will be in for WP-DownloadManger 1.50, which will be out after WP2.8
2) Did you read the readme.html and note the tabs on top?
1) Cool, that's great news. Will a download's category be included in the permalink (optionally perhaps)? That would be pretty cool.
2) I did; it seems it requires php code which isn't something I can just paste into the middle of a regular word-press page. I could just add a new php file and use it I guess, but that seems a bit more difficult.
Thanks for your thoughts!
1) Nope, download category will not be in at the moment
2) Why do you need PHP code? You can use the Short Code. just create a page and type in [page_downloads] inside it.
2) Oops, I did not realize this option existed -- it doesn't seem to be on the usage page though maybe I overlooked it somewhere else.
