Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Downloads start delayed for public users

Hi,
When logged in, downloads start immediately.  When not logged in, they are delayed by 20 seconds.  Is there a setting or permission issue causing this?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi
In User Group settings there is a setting 'Activate Waiting Time' which allows you to set a time delay in seconds before the downloading of a file begins.   The user will see the 'Waiting Time Message' with its countdown timer in the layout Summary page.  The file becomes downloadable when the counter reaches zero. Setting the delay to zero disables the wait timer so there is no delay. Requires 'Summary' view so set Options - Frontend tab -  Activate direct-downloading? to No.

See the notes in the documentation

Hi ColinM,
All user groups have wait time set to no.  Also, no message indicating a wait time is displayed for public users.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi ColinM,

My settings match what you sent me.  No countdown timer is displayed.

I'm going to look in my logs shortly to see if anything shows up.

Thanks,

Dave
