WordPress Download Monitor Plugin 3

About the plugin
The whole idea to this plugin is to keep your website downloads organised, and provide means to monitor the amount of downloads a file has, along with an easy method of linking to those files using special tags.
By adding a simple tag to a wordpress page you can show the link formatted however you want.
Features
- NEW: Built in Download Page function with built in sorting, pagination, and search. This was going to be a paid addon but i’m too nice – so please donate if you use it!
- Records file download hits but does **not** count downloads by wordpress admin users.
- Stats on downloads and a download log for viewing who downloaded when.
- Uses shortcodes (backward compatible with old [Download id not defined] style).
- Editor button – upload and add a download stright from a post.
- Custom redirects to downloads.
- Add downloads to text widgets, the content, excerpts, and custom fields.
- Mirror support (selected at random) + mirror deadlink checker
- Download Categories.
- Member only downloads, can also have a minimum user level using custom fields.
- Localization support.
- Admin for managing downloads and also changing hit counts – just in case you change servers or import old downloads that already have stats.
- Custom URL’s/URL hider using mod_rewrite.
