It seems like every day I’m discovering new WordPress plugins that I have a need or desire for. Today was no exception! If you are someone that has made a number of downloads available to the public on your WordPress blog (WordPress themes, WordPress plugins, eBooks, etc.), you will probably also find this plugin very useful.
The plugin I am referencing is the WordPress Download Manager plugin, which was designed to help you give you statistics and manage your downloads. Once activated, this plugin gives you a download manager in your WordPress dashboard that supports the following extensions: .zip, .pdf, .mp3, .rar. You can upload multiple downloads, create download categories, and even make your own custom download URL’s.
This plugin also calculates your downloads for you and displays your download statistics on the front page of your dashboard.

Great Plugin!
I am looking for a plugin that can enable the download of files only when users are registered and logged in, do you know of something like that?

Thanks!

@NBWeb.it - You can try the WP-DownloadManager plugin by Lester Chan. I believe you can restrict downloads to logged in users only.
