Sehr (sehr) hilfreich für Downlaod-Datein
Danke für das tolle Plugin. Besonders in Verbindung mit Real Media Library echt hilfreich eine große Anzahl von Downlaod-Datein (bei mir PDFs) anzubieten. Hat mir eine Menge Arbeit erspart und sieht auch noch sehr gefällig aus.

Fantastic plugins!
This plugin helped me a lot with a problem that I had to list files. I spent days looking for a solution like this and not found it. Thanks to the developers!

Very convenient, exactly what I needed
This is the feature I've been looking for. I had tested other pkugins like Download Monitor, Download Manager, etc. but they didn't do what I wanted.

Useful and convenient to use
This works exactly as intended. If you are familiar with using shortcodes it should be simple to use it. The developer quickly added support for the standard Office file formats after I requested it.
