   Hi everyone! Anyone knows how to retrieve the value of a custom field assigned to a download in WordPress Download Monitor? Concretely I wanted to use the built 'req-role' custom field (used to show files only to one determined user role), to filter the download list and show files that each custom role can download. I have read all the documentations and search all the forums but don't find any answer about that.
   Thanks in advance!

   use 2 more plugins
   User Role Editor & User specific Content

   first create a users using User Role Editor
   e.g user-1 & user-2

   in Edit Download Information of Download ID 1
   use Custom fields
   Name=> req-role
   Value=> user-1

   in Edit Download Information of Download ID 2
   use Custom fields
   Name=> req-role
   Value=> user-2

   using with User specific Content Plugin

   [O_U user_role="user-1"]
   <h2>User 1 content goes here</h2>
   [download id=1]
   [/O_U]

   [O_U user_role="user-2"]
   <h2>User 2 content goes here</h2>
   [download id=2]
   [/O_U]

   Thanks for your answer, I'm using User Role Editor yet to crearte the user roles. Indeed, I was looking for a 'more automated' way of filtering the downloads list. Finally found a way to access the value of the req-role custom field:
   $d->meta['req-role']
   So you can filter the download list for a concrete user-role.
   Hope it helps for anyone,
