Introducing the Limit Resource Downloads add-on​

Limit Resource Downloads add-on gives forum admins powerful control over resource downloads by allowing them to set a variety of limits, such as:

• Daily download limits
• Reaction requirement
• Minimum message count limits
• Force account upgrade

The add-on also includes informative interfaces and user-friendly error pages that explain the reasons for download restrictions. This helps to discourage abuse and promote fair use of resources.

In addition, the add-on can encourage user engagement on the forums and can lead to more account upgrades, boosting your site’s revenue.

Key Features​

Here are some of the key features of the Limit Resource Downloads add-on:

️ Usergroup permissions: This allows admins to fine-tune who can download resources, and under what conditions.
Support for setting permissions in each Resource Category: This gives admins even more granular control over download limits.
3 types of limits: Admins can choose from customizable download limits, reaction limits, and message count limits.
