IP.Downloads 2 Features
IP.Downloads adds an easy-to-use download manager to your community, complete with advanced features to control permissions and resource usage.
Permissions
Your member group permissions also exist in IP.Downloads allowing you to control the access levels of your members.
Storing Files
There are various options for file storage and security including sorting files outside of the public web areas, a remote FTP server, or linking to a remote location.
Bulk Import
If you have a directory full of files or a zip file, you can import those files all at once into IP.Downloads saving you time from one-by-one uploads.
Screenshot
Sometimes you need to take a screenshot of what one of your files looks like when used. IP.Downloads supports screenshots for previewing files along with copyright stamping or watermarking of those screenshots.
User Controls
Your visitors can comment on files, add them to a favorite list, email links to others, rate the files, and track them to get updates when they change.
Forum Topic Creation
The administrator can allow automatic generation of a forum topic linked to the file for ongoing discussion or support.
File Type Control
IP.Downloads includes configurations for control of what file types are allowed to be added, file types allowed for screenshots, and whether to force the file to display on the site or download to the visitor's computer.
Statistics
Your AdminCP can identify downloads per IP address, country, browser, and more. You can also run reports on files and members.
File Revisions
When new versions of a file are updated, the old versions are showing as an archive allowing your visitors to access old versions for reference.
Resource Control
Administrators can define member group limits over number of simultaneous downloads, posts per download, max downloads and bandwidth per time period. There are also settings for anti-leech protection to make sure remote sites are not directly linking to your files.
