[TYPO3-english] List files for all and download only for registered frontend users

[Raymond Irwin]

Hi list,

I'm looking for an extension or a setup that will do something like the 
following:

- lists downloadable files in frontend (visible to all visitors, 
includes a file description, list view with short description and single 
view with long description)

- allows download only for registered users (depending on defined usergroup)

- sends the visitor to the registration page when attempting to download 
a file, and automatically logs on and returns the user to the chosen 
file after the registration is completed

- search and categorization of downloadable files

I went through the repository searching for things like secure 
downloads, file manager, etc. but am finding it hard to decide on how to 
do this with the available extensions. Any ideas or pointers are as 
always greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Raymond
