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.
On installation, this plugin only uses 1 database table to store download information, uploaded downloads are stored in their own directory. Don’t want to upload? You can add links to existing downloads, and track them, also.
By adding a simple tag to a wordpress page you can show the link, with or without hits displayed.
For usage instructions see this page or the admin page after installing the plugin (Manage > Downloads).
