How It Works:

With the Dashboard Download Manager, you upload your files to our secure, offline file storage server.  When a customer purchases a download or a group of downloads, they are spent a special key that allows them to pick up their downloads from your website.  The files are never accessible directly through the internet - instead the yare delivered via secure file stream directly to your customers computers.

Highlighted Features:

Secure file distribution
The Dashboard provides a truly secure system to sell downloadable files online.  Unlike other systems that simply hide or mask the URL of the file, the Dashboard actually streams files from an offline server, so there is never a risk your files will be snatched by a spider program or malicious hacker.

Configurable IP Address Count
An IP address is equivalent to your phone number on the internet -your computer (or your router) will always be mapped back to a specific IP address.  The Dashboard allows you to configure and restrict specific numbers of IP Addresses from which your customers can attempt to download your download products.

Configurable Number of Download Attempts
Your customers should be allowed more than one attempt to download file they've purchased.  After all, they might have had problems with their internet connection or even their computer itself.  That's why the Dashboard provides a way for you to configure how many download attempts your customers get, based on your specific business rules.

Configurable Download Time Period
You can also restrict the timeframe a customer has to actually download the file.  This is a simple solution that can be used with or independently of the IP address and download attempt counts.
