Thanks for creating jDownloads! It is so amazing and full of options.
I used Remository for a long time but switched to jDownloads, because it it free and up-to-date.

Two suggestions:
1. When all downloads in a public category has access=registered and you are not logged in, no downloads are visible. It would be more friendly to display all downloads, but protect the download when not logged in.
2. It would be handy to hide a download. So you can make a direct link to that download, without making it public visible.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter - Welcomme to jDownloads
There are numerous articles that may be useful at https://www.jdownloads.net/documentation

I am currently looking at your first suggestion.
For your second suggestion I think the Content Plugin approach might be suitable Content Plugin

Best wishes
Colin
