I have tried all the steps and nothing is indicating an error. The initializing scan spins at 0% and never increases. I can use jDownloads without monitoring feature. It may resolve itself on the next Joomla version or jDownloads version.

General / Per-User Download Permissions ...
Last post by bloriner681 - Today at 06:44:22
Hi,

I need to give download access to a single user for specific files in jDownloads, but I'd like to avoid creating a separate Joomla user group and dedicated access level if possible.

Is there a built-in way in jDownloads to assign download permissions on a per-user basis without modifying the existing ACL structure for the rest of the site?

I'm trying to keep the permission setup as simple as possible and avoid creating additional groups for every individual user who needs special access.

How are others handling this type of requirement?

Thanks for any advice.

Unlock the RM secondary position and gain two PlayStyle+ traits for free with this FUT Evolution! Pick a base card with high Physicality or Passing stats to create a 94+ rated, top-tier (T0) winger at zero cost-skip spending tons of FC 26 Coins on expensive meta wingers and avoid the common pitfalls of choosing the wrong card!

Master the Evolution Boosts & Avoid Mistakes | For Beginners New to Evolutions
This Evolution doesn't boost Physicality stats, but maxing it out grants a massive +15 to Pace, Passing, and Defending, plus the Intercept+ and Quick Step+ PlayStyle+ traits. Unlock a dual-position (RB/RM) role and-with the right base card-create an "end-game" quality winger for free.
Core Value: Instantly grasp the Evolution mechanics, avoid wasting your slot on the wrong card, and maximize this free reward.

5 Top-Tier (T0) Candidates for Any Playstyle | For FUT Players with Diverse Preferences
Valverde becomes an all-action, tireless flanker thanks to his elite base Physicality; Alexander-Arnold transforms into a right-flank playmaker with maxed-out Passing; Ben White becomes a defensive rock; Dumfries turns into a tank-like wing-back that bulldozes the flank; and Baertl becomes a defensive powerhouse capable of playing multiple roles.
Core Value: Whether you prefer tiki-taka, long-ball tactics, or "park-the-bus" defense, you can find the perfect end-game Evolution card for your squad.

Check Eligibility Requirements to Avoid Wasted Effort | For All Players Ready to Choose
The card must have RB as its primary position, an overall rating no higher than 90, no more than 10 standard PlayStyles, and no more than 3 PlayStyle+ traits. "Global Tour Silver Stars" cards are excluded. Check these criteria before you start to avoid the frustration of picking a card you can't actually use.
Key Value: Pre-emptively navigate all eligibility requirements to ensure 100% compliance-avoiding the mistake of selecting a card that fails to qualify and wasting a precious evolution slot.

Tailored Tips for Different Playstyles
For players prioritizing all-around versatility: Choose Valverde; he offers full-pitch coverage without tiring and serves as a core playmaker in both attack and defense.
For players favoring a possession-based, playmaking style: Choose the special version of Alexander-Arnold; his 95-rated passing turns the right flank into the team's primary distribution hub.
For players prioritizing a deep-defensive, "park-the-bus" style: Choose Ben White or Dumfries; they are virtually unbeatable in 1v1 situations on the flank-their defensive stability is extraordinary.
For players building a budget squad who want an elite-tier ("endgame") fullback: Choose Bartley; with a 94 OVR and dual-position versatility, he provides a top-tier (T0) fullback option at zero cost, saving you from hunting Fut 26 Coins for sale just to afford expensive meta defenders.

Tired of mindlessly holding sprint and failing to win? We break down everything: the completely overhauled tactical system, core offensive and defensive techniques, and a guide to avoiding common pitfalls across all modes. Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, this FC 26 guide will help you break through plateaus and skyrocket your win rate, this will help you save more FC 26 Coins.

Master the underlying logic of new tactics-stop guessing and tinkering blindly | For players new to the system
The old efficiency system has been replaced by a detailed player role matrix-don't just slot players into the wrong positions. With new dynamic tactical presets and controlled sprint shielding, understanding the rules is ten times more effective than simply stacking high-rated players.
Core Value: Quickly grasp FC26's unique mechanics, avoid squad-building traps, and fundamentally raise your team's potential.

Secrets to a clean sheet-never fear counter-attacks again | For players whose defenses get sliced open
Stop mindlessly lunging for the ball and leaving gaps! Hold L2/LT to maintain a steady, lateral defensive stance; use physical contact instead of reckless tackles. Keep your CDM in midfield to cut off passing lanes and avoid dragging your center-backs out of position-shut down the opponent's attack with ease.
Core Value: Break old habits, quickly develop solid defensive skills, and secure clean sheets to win ranked matches.

Break down packed defenses and double your scoring efficiency | For players frustrated by AI "park-the-bus" tactics
Stop stubbornly trying to force your way down the wings! Use powerful, penetrating passes to cut through the midfield, create space before unleashing a charged long-range shot, or deliver curling crosses to the far post. Patient build-up play is far more reliable than relying solely on raw speed to force a goal.
‌Core Value: Master efficient new-meta scoring tactics so you never spend half an hour circling the opponent's box without finding the net.

All-Mode Guide: Avoid Pitfalls & Save Resources | For UT, Clubs, and Career Mode players
In UT, don't waste coins on overpriced cards right at launch; complete basic SBCs to save coins and use "Evolutions" to upgrade cheap gems. In Clubs, don't dump all points into Pace. In Career Mode, use the scouting network to find wonderkids that fit your tactics-saving yourself months of trial and error.
‌Core Value: Get the optimal strategy for every mode; avoid wasting coins or development resources and get a massive head start on progress.

3 Essential Launch-Day Steps: Maximize Your Gameplay Feel | For all players starting a new save
Before your first match, enable "Timed Finishing," switch your camera to the highest "Co-op" or "Broadcast" view, and complete the tactical skill drills. A quick 3-minute setup will drastically improve your gameplay experience for hundreds of matches to come.
‌Core Value: Maximize your gaming experience at zero cost; avoid being hindered by default settings and enjoy smooth, responsive controls right from the start.

Tips Tailored to Different Players
Absolute Beginners: Complete skill drills first to master the new passing mechanics. Don't rush into online play; practice solid lateral jockeying first so you don't get crushed and quit the game early.

UT "Free-to-Play" Players: Avoid high-priced cards on the transfer market during the first two weeks when you might be tempted to buy EA FC 26 Coins. Complete basic SBCs to save coins and use "Evolutions" to upgrade pacey players, allowing you to quickly build a competitive squad for ranked play on a budget.

Clubs Mode Players: Prioritize spending skill points on Stamina and Passing rather than dumping everything into Pace. In long-term matches, endurance and ball distribution are far more valuable than raw speed alone.

Career Mode Players: Use the new scouting network to recruit wonderkids who naturally fit your tactics. This eliminates the need to waste resources retraining players, effectively doubling your team-building efficiency.

‌Key Value: Never waste rare player cards again; quickly build a top-tier starting XI using minimal FC26 coins.‌

Career Mode Unleashed: Rewrite Football History | For Casual Single-Player Gamers

Core Value: Break away from cookie-cutter opening strategies and experience a personalized managerial journey that mirrors real-world football.

One-tap setting switching for peak responsiveness | For hardcore players climbing the online ranks

Core Value: Avoid the sluggishness caused by default settings; use optimized parameters tailored to each mode to significantly raise your gameplay ceiling.

Tips for different types of players
Newcomers (via XGP): Start with a wide 4-2-3-1 formation against the AI to practice controls before heading into online matchmaking-avoid getting crushed right out of the gate and losing interest.
F2P FUT Players: Prioritize evolving low-cost wonderkids from current events; don't waste coins on finished cards-you can cultivate your own "god-tier" players at a fraction of the cost.
Casual Single-Player Fans: Manage both a top-tier club and a national team simultaneously; challenge for league titles and international cups at the same time to double the enjoyment compared to a single managerial role.
Hardcore Rank Climbers: Always switch to "Competitive" mode before going online and disable unnecessary visual effects to reduce lag-this instantly elevates the responsiveness of your controls, and is often recommended alongside buy EA FC 26 Coins strategies for faster squad progression.

Well, as a result now the traffic at my website has strongly increased, because all search engines and AI robots are interested in these new links causing many 302 redirects in the log file. And guess, whose job it is to check these log files on a regular basis?  ;)

Hi
As far as I understand ImumnifyAV is a light weight antivirus program designed for Linux web servers. I not sure of its characteristics in Joomla and jDownloads.  When I checked on the web it seems to be prone to give false positives on Joomla extensions.
I would suggest you consult your Web Supplier about a suitable antivirus.Best wishes

Hello jDownloads Development Team,

During a security review on a Joomla installation running the latest jDownloads version (4.1.5), the file

administrator/components/com_jdownloads/assets/upload/upload-handler.php

was flagged as malicious by ImunifyAV.

Detection details:

Scanner: ImunifyAV
Detection Type: SMW-INJ-CLOUDAV-php.backdoor.upload-PHPTRP2-4
Scan Type: On-Demand Scan
Detection Date: 2026-06-19
File: administrator/components/com_jdownloads/assets/upload/upload-handler.php

The file appears to be a standalone upload handler which processes uploaded files using $_FILES and move_uploaded_file(). While the code does not contain obfuscation, shell execution, eval(), base64 decoding, or other typical malware indicators, it is consistently detected by ImunifyAV as a potential upload backdoor.

Can you please confirm whether this file is an official part of jDownloads 4.1.5 and whether its functionality is intended?

It may also be helpful to review whether

Hi Colin,

Thanks for your quick reply.
So, you say the new behavior was intentionally implemented. In other words "it's a feature, not a bug"?

Clearly there is no problem with a logged in user.
When a user is not logged-in then jD is offering the chance to login at that stage without having to exit from jD. If the user could not login anyway there is no difference but if a Registered user had forgotten to log in then this avoids having to exit jD, goto the login and then return to the downloading sequence.
