 * How secure is the ‘members only’ download protection?
 * I’m building a childcare website, I want to upload photos to zip files and let
   only logged-in parents download them.
 * Is there any way a non registered user could detect the file location and download
   those files?
 * Also, is it possible to see who (among the registered users) downloaded what?

 * If you enable folder protection in the Delightful Downloads settings, this will
   stop users from accessing the files directly. To test that this is working, visit`
   domain.com/wp-content/uploads/delightful-downloads` in the browser and you should
   receive a 403 forbidden error. This assumes your running on an Apache web server.
 * All downloads are logged. You can see who downloaded the file if they were logged
   in, or the ip address if a guest user downloaded the file.
