 * Is there a way to get this working with another download plugin? Download Monitor
   is causing a huge number of queries.

 * It only works with Download Monitor. What do you mean by ‘huge number of queries’?
   Like SQL queries to the database or something else? I have never heard of anything
   like that and can’t think of how that might happen…
 * Are you running the latest version of Download Monitor (you should be running
   version 1.9.5)?
 * When are you seeing all these queries .. like on any page request in WordPress
   or only when viewing a page with the EBD shortcode on it or when you’re logged
   in as admin and in the Download Monitor section of the wordpress menus or…?
 * Where are you seeing these queries? Are you running a monitoring tool and seeing
   them or are you seeing errors/warnings showing up in an error log somewhere or..?

 * I am seeing the queries when I am logged in to admin dashboard. I am using the
   plugin Query Monitor (as advised by my host)

 * I don’t really know what it does on the admin side. Whatever it’s doing, it’s
   doing it pretty fast. It’s only taking 1/100th of a second to do all those queries.
   As long as it doesn’t do it on the external pages I wouldn’t worry about. However,
   you could open a ticket over on the Download Monitor support forum and ask the
   author what’s up with that…
