 * How can I add the Downloads menu to the menu for a custom user role? Is this 
   a feature of the pro version but not the free? After the standard, free installation
   I can only see the Downloads options when logged in as an administrator, but 
   I would like to allow custom user roles or specific users to upload files to 
   maintain the archive. Thank you.

 * author and editor also should be able to see download menu, however you can to
   add edit_posts caps with your custom role to see downloads menu.
