I get this error message when attempting to activate the plugin.

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home3/jonplotn/public_html/nlccommunity/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/download-manager.php on line 12

Since version (2.8.4) Download Manager requires php v5.3.0+ ( http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.rationale.php ), may you please update your server php version, however if that is not possible, you can get back the previous version from here https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/download-manager.2.8.3.zip

You only will show the error, when installed php version doesn’t support “namespace” ( http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.rationale.php ), so, may you please contact with your hosting company, why installed php version is not supporting namesapce when it 5.4+

You can delete plugin files from ftp, it will not harm your old data.
