Download Monitor Pro

Description

Download Monitor Pro records every WordPress file download capturing IP, user, and timestamp, with role-based access control, password protection, and management of multiple versions under the same link. Designed for sites distributing documents, media, e-books, manuals, or software, the plugin organizes the library into categories, sends email notifications at each download, and generates exportable CSV reports for trend analysis.
