WP-Downloads

Hope I’m not giving you too much headache…and that with 5) is a great news:)

Thanks for telling me to have a look into this. Seems pretty good and, what’s most important, unlike other downloading scripts, fast, I have just a couple of questions:

1) Can I put the files somewhere else? Like, currently, my audio files are in /downloads/audio/SPECIFIC CATEGORY NAME HERE/YEAR/ and video files, managed from a separate installation of WP are in /downloads/videos/ while their WP is in /media, so it would be cool if it could grab files from a path relative to the top-level directory rather than exclusively wp-content.

2) Will there be subcategories and subcategories of subcategories?:) There are freaks like me who like to keep everything super-super tidy?

3) Can I break downloads into pages, the way I’m doing it right now, as, even though they’ll definitely load faster than with freakin’ DownloadPro, some pages might be too long from a designer’s point of view.

*Of course, if the downloading code is a template bit rather than a specific template which calls the plugin, guess 2) and 3) don’t matter.

4) Can the initial number of downloads be any number, as I’d love to use the numbers of downloads which I’ve been offering on the site since 2004.

5) Does it automatically calculate the file size? If so, that’s quite useful for big sites.

6) Possibility to edit words when calling a file in ? parametres would be great, as I often have to search through your script files to remove the capitalisation of every word.

As for a file uploader, I don’t neccessarily need one, but judging from what I see on many places on the internet, people love it when they “don’t have to use FTP”, so I guess it’s a good idea…

So, if you need a tester, I’m applying; as this seems to be a solution for all my downloading and timeout troubles and it would work with your wonderful wp-ratings script as well, so what else could I possibly want?;)
