Hi everyone,

Don't know if this already exists as I could
not find anything using the search, but I was
wondering if anyone has made a download
manager module for gallery?

What I'm looking for is something where you
could ban unregistered users from downloading
full-size pictures or videos as well as limiting
how much they can download over a certain
period of time (per hour, day, week, etc...).

If this is already done, can someone post a link
for this module. If not, this would be a great
addition (and if no one takes up the torch, I will
just have to learn php and do it myself :wink: )

G2's permission system allows you to prevent unregistered users from viewing/downloading full-size pictures, etc already. Check that out.

We have not yet implemented a bandwidth quota, but we could definitely do that as an add-on module. I think we'd have to make a few tweaks in the core DownloadItem view to provide a hook for an external module to do the quota checking, but that shouldn't be all that hard.

I doubt that we (core developers) will add this to G2.0, but if you want to work on it, keep us posted!
