Note: I have no time for this at the moment and have no ETA on it being done. This thread will be unlocked when I know more.
Ok I am planning out the downloads mod and have a few questions of what people want/need.
What I have planned so far is a very detailed, very high quality version... basically any feature the forums have the downloads mod will have (for example it will even support moderators per category like the forums).
Question time.
Mirrors
I will add the ability to add external mirrors the same way as, for example, adding poll choices when creating a thread. And then there will also be the option to upload a .torrent file. My question, however, is about internal mirrors. How do you require them to work? I have never used them or seen a system that does use them so am unsure on how to go about it.
Read Log
Do you want a read log like on the forums? I will have alerts with the ability to watch a download etc. But do you have any need of a read log in downloads for their comments? Seems like overkill to me (so if I was to add it I would have an option to be able to turn it off).
Node Tree
I'm just going to create a category tree, so it will be like the node tree but just with categories. Unless there is some other node people might want? Speak now or forever hold your peace.
That's all for now.
