The Downloads module is a link manager for downloadable resources. It allows administrators to categorize and post descriptions of downloads including file size, version, platform and date submitted. Other features include:

·   A counter recording the number of times each file is accessed  
·   Visitors can submit and rate downloads, propose changes to descriptions, report broken links and post comments  
·   Display blocks for Recent downloads and Top Downloads
