Both mod_jdownloads_latest and mod_jdownloads_top modules show the files to the public when they are set to super users.
The olderVersion 3.2.69 did not do this,
Also from what i saw it only does it properly on the downloads pages through j down loads.
This was a Caching problem - solved by either inhibiting Joomla Caching or by setting the Caching Option on the Advanced tab of the module to 'No caching'Colin
