Hey all,
We're releasing vBDownloads v2.2.3 in order to add a feature that will come in handy for most forums that make heavy use of this mod: Referer Checks on Downloads. You now have the option to turn on a check that makes sure that no other sites can hot-link to your downloads. If you allow downloads from guest users, but would still like their ad revenue, this feature prevents sites from effectively wasting your bandwidth without giving you anything in return.
If you like the product you can show your support by nominating it for mod of the month here: vBDownloads v2 [AJAX] (vB4) - vBulletin.org Forum or here vBDownloads v2 [AJAX] (vB3) - vBulletin.org Forum, and also please rate it to help cancel out the users who 1 star our mods.
Below is the complete changelog for this version.
