Do you want to set up a download button for free files? Easy Digital Downloads has the free download feature. However, the visitor has to go to the checkout page and fill the form after clicking on the purchase button.
This plugin bypasses that process and lets them download the file right away.
Each download is counted as a payment as EDD natively handles. So you know how many times your files are downloaded. If it is downloaded by a logged-in user, you would know who downloaded what.
This is super lightweight and does not insert any plugin specific options.
