This hack allows you to limit the number of attachments users can download during a given time period.
You can choose how many attachments a user can download in a give time. That given time can be set to an hour, a day, a week, a month, 3 months, 6 months, or a year. You also set which attachment types get counted for this hack. Also, you set which usergroups get affected by this hack and how many downloads each usergoup can make.
If a user tries downloading past their limit, they will get an error message. This error message includes when they will be able to start downloading again.
Also, there is a cron job to remove from the table that this hack creates, all the rows that are past the limit date so your table doesn't grow forever and saves you space.
