Should ahve thought of it before!!! ...

Using WordPress with Delmem. Set it up so everyone can see that pages but then use the restricted access to the download link. Got curious and found that all I have to do is view the page code and use the raw download links showing there. Now I (and anyone else) can download all the products!! Should have (as I said) thought of this before!! I suppose I can password protect the download areas and move the various downloads around and send emails out with the passwords. Since I have three levels I may have to segregate the downloads by the level.
Maybe Wishlist will do a better job? Somehow I need to protect the downloads easily. I have Short URLs Pro so I could use it but that would be unwieldy after a short time as each month has 30-40 products and each would require a link unless I did a download page for each month and used the Short URL to link to just that.

or you can set up $0 Product for the downloads and check the bypass order page.

this also gives you an opportunity for OTO on the download page.

there's more than 1 way to skin a cat :)

I was trying to make it easy to setup and yet still work for my members. If I did a $0 product for each item I'd have 30-40 products added each month. That's what I was trying to avoid.

Still thinking this one over for the best/easiest method

If you use the Click Here To Download individual link block it will show the absolute link to your file if you view the source.
However, if you use Delmem to protect the whole page then no links show. I suppose someone with a lot of WordPress experience could break in though. :)

called SecureDL that scrambles the download links. Bought it and am now trying to find out why it's not working correctly! Working with the programmer directly. Hope it works out! Sure hope it's not a conflict between DELmem and SecureDL

Wishlist doesn't display protected content in the source code unless you are logged in (when the download link is visible when you view source).

I haven't used DELmem but are you sure you were logged out when you looked at the source code?

called SecureDL that encodes the download links on the fly. Not a truly great solution as it doesn't allow passwords and user ID's to be passed. So if I use .htaccess to protect the download directory the user has to log in each time. It's better than nothing though.
