There are three traffic limits to avoid over traffic costs: daily, weekly and monthly limit. If one of these limits is exceeded downloads will either be redirected to a custom URL or a custom message is displayed. For images you can define a fallback icon which is displayed instead of the message. Additionally a download bandwidth can be set for registered users and guests. Also included is a statistic system which displays the current traffic consumption and individual file stats to see which media produces the most traffic. All files are sent to the browser by a PHP script, supporting the most HTTP headers like `If-Modified-Since` (for caching) and `Range` (for partial downloads) If the Apache extension `mod_rewrite` is installed download links stay the same, if not links to media files are automatically redirected. It is recommended to install` mod_rewrite`, although this plugin works without this extension. **Note:** If you provide lots of downloads or media files you should try my download manager [WP-Filebase](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-filebase/). ## Screenshots [⌊An overview about the traffic amount and the limits⌉⌊An overview about the traffic amount and the limits⌉[ An overview about the traffic amount and the limits [⌊The files which causes the most traffic are listed here⌉⌊The files which causes the most traffic are listed here⌉[ The files which causes the most traffic are listed here ## Installation 1.
