Hello,
We have been using s2member secure file browser plugin for while and it has worked great but recently has become problamatic. It appears to not be supported any more as well.
Does anyone know of a way we can track downloads in a similar fashion so we can track who is using our free download file on our website and know the email address and ip address, etc.
Any info would be great. Thank you,
I decided to nix Secure File Browser and use Download Monitor. Seems to do what we need.
Can you post a link to Download Monitor? I had a quick look and did not find anything that would recognise S2Member proprietary stored data. Thanks in advance.
This is what I found and using with S2Member now. Download Monitor.
I just use the S2Member settings to lock the downloads down to members.
It gives us the logging we need to track downloads.
Have you tried to see if it tracks downloads of files accessed via the S2Member AWS S3 protected links mode or are you just tracking downloads of files stored on the file system of your server?
That’s why S2Member Secure File Browser was my go-to plug-in. It was the only one that tracked those.
FYI - I will be forking and updating the S2Member Secure File Browser in 2 months. I will update here once there is an upissue available.
Hi onepresstech,
Any news about that updating?
Sorry Ray…still on my to-do list. I am still using it on client sites so I am still motivated to take it over. Just need life to settle back down again. WordPress getting re-engineered, PHP doing massive frequent updates, COVID-related work for clients, lots happening…too many things too little time 
Yeah! I understand. We all are in the same boat.
So, if you have the chance to work on it, just let me know. 
I see you’;ve been busy. Did you ever get around to updating s2Member Secure File Browser? Or do we need to move on?
Are you able to limit user downloads with Download Monitor? We have different membership levels allowing different limit on downloads so we need that type of control.
Good timing for the query. I am upgrading client sites and S2Member Secure File Browser finally hit the wall. I have to finish up something today / tomorrow and then was going to fork & fix and reach out to the author to take it over…assuming Download Monitor can’t do the job. Anyone tested the free version of Download Monitor with S2Member to verify it tracks S2Member AWS S3 protected links?
That’s great to hear. A few years ago @clavaque considered taking over the file browser. The errors right now are just too plentiful to be useful and most features no longer work. It seems a perfect fit for s2member.
Although I can see how it might be useful for some, I tried out Download monitor years ago and it didn’t fit. You pretty much have to use it on it’s own and just use s2member to protect pages, links etc. And I couldn’t control the number of downloads for a user.
