When I click on a file to download, I am presented with a web page with a download link.
You display the Author, the targeted e-Sword Version, and the Description.

Can you add to the display(before the description) the actual/physical/real file-name of the file being downloaded and its size.
Thanks, Tracey
Also, for the near or distant future, can you also add the download time based on connection speed (not a biggy, just a perk).

Hi,

The actual size is displayed on the right side of the screen. I don't think there's an IPBoard addon for the download time, probably because it hasn't interested anyone enough to make it, with today's fast download speeds. As for the filename, we'll see what IPBoard 3.2 brings. It's a huge upgrade, the largest in a long while. I'll apply that update "soon" (as soon as their bug tracker stops having 14 pages of bugs). I can't wait because they completely recoded the text editor, and that's great because I've never been a huge fan of the WYSIWYG text editor in IPBoard.

Yes, it is wise to wait until most all bugs are fixed before implementing software upgrades because of the problems they cause.
I still would like to see the file names added so I know when something may be wrong if the file name stored on disk is not the same as what is supposed to be downloaded (or maybe it will show that the file names need to be fixed).
Thanks, Tracey
