Excellent component, close to all you'll need! After trying to configure Docman and others to have the functionality and permission restrictions I needed, I was happy to find Remository. After submitting a question on the support site, I was answered promptly and with confidence - which is a rarity. Thanks Remository!

Actually I tried a lot of download components , but none of them have all these features together
Here are some of its features :
1- organize files into categories (containers)
2- Make special user groups
From joomla groups or selective users
3- set auto approve roles per category
4- set who can Download , Upload , Edit
5- auto link to data already on server
6- save files to file system OR DataBase
7- set allowed extensions
8- set extensions To play with plugins (audio - video) in light box or other way
9- set maximum uploads for users
and maximum upload space
10- set maximum downloads for users
And the Best feature :
You can edit the component to look as you want through editing php files trailing with (HTML)
which are optimized to be edited by users who has No experience with php .. Just 5 minutes of reading you can change the whole look of Remository
Finally the support is great
Thanks Martin

I have been using this component for years and the updates always make it better. Keep up the great work Martin.

Great! SEO-ready and easy to use. Thanks!

This does exactly what we needed. I only want to allow registered users to download. It works perfectly. After logging out I tried links to files and different pages under Remository and every time it asked to log in.
I was able to take out the "user upload" option (don't want that) and the "search files" option (don't need that). The only thing i want now is to take out now is the RSS option, but need to look at documentation on how to do that. Hopefully that is a quick change.
thanks for making a great product.

This is a fantastic component - I really find it easy to install / use - every credit to the developer and every credit to the fact that this is still an open source piece of software.
Had a slight issue with config file not saving properly but the developer responded within the same day and the issue was sorted within an hour, with an email communication trail all the way.
Thanks to the developer again for swift efforts - greatly appreciated.
And thanks for keeping Remository FREE!!

What I love most about it is that unlike other extensions, it lets you chose files which are in different directory and subdirectory while with others, you need to have all the files in one directory.

This is simply a great tool.
It have almost all the features for downlods.
What I miss is the look and feel. That is not amazing, They have very plain and simple looks.
Thanks for such a component.

Thank you for the favourable comment. Remository uses semantic markup for its HTML, and the look and feel is partially the result of the default Remository CSS file and partially from attributes cascaded from the site template. Users of Remository are encouraged to modify the default CSS, or commission web designers to do so.

I am very shocked that Joomla does not ahve a good donwload component, there is something wrong with everyone. This one works the best for me - but..again I say but. I need to upload alot of files to transfer from DOCMAN. The ADD FILES ALREADY ON SERVER does not work..it adds nothing or only adds the folders and not the PDFs
Owner's reply
Thank you for the grudging praise. But the central comment here is simply wrong. I have just used "Add Files Already on Server" to add all the .jpg files from the Joomla /images directory structure. The results are visible in "Selected Images" folder at http://j15.joomlaguru.net. The operation ran flawlessly, using the current release of Remository, and took a few seconds. There is an extensive FAQ on this topic at http://remository.com/faq/remository-general/add-files-already-on-the-server/. I hope you will consider revising your review.

I love this component. This is what I need. I've been using it for 3 months. I have not have any proplems with it. I emailed the developer several times just to ask something I did not understand, and every time Martin answered. He explained everything in details!!!
Thank You!
Thank You!

I have used many of the Joomla download extensions throughout the years and have found this download component to be the easiest to install, configure and manage. This remains true for download systems that contain hundreds and even thousands of files with extensive category structures. While each of the other top download components (DocMan & JDownloads) have their features and benefits, switching from such download components as DocMan has saved a lot time performing administration tasks. Perhaps best of all, though, is the feature that allows for an embedded audio and video player in the file page, which also saves the hassle of having to integrate an audio and/or video component or plugin to enable website visitors to easily play the media. Thanks!

I have been struggling with Docman for years because it supported user groups, and Remository didn't in those old days. While migrating to Joomla 1.5, I checked on Remository again today, and what a delight! It's like night and day! Thank you!
byJardaKo on January 24, 2009
I tried 3-4 extensions placed here. But I have to say that Remository is the best (in my opinion of course). It does everything what I need and the best way. Very good access control. And easy set-easy use.

After looking around the Extensions area for ages I eventually posted on the Forum that I was looking for a module that could handle individual client download areas. After being recommended Remository I downloaded it and gave it a try...and I'm glad I did! It does exactly what I need it to do and more. Thanks to Martin and the team for a great module. It handles private and public downloads with ease with some nice extras.

I'm very satisfied with this extension. It's simple to install, maintanin, and very intuitive. It's NATIVE, and well supported, and it's localized in several languages.

I've been using DOCman for several months, but decided to take a look at Remository for a new website. Wow, what a difference. All the same features, but much easier to manage. In addition, it is substantially faster than DOCman. Unless something new comes along, I will be sticking with Remository.
bywijiti on October 13, 2008
Easy to install, configure and manage. Simpler to use than docman, but with the same usability and supports 1.5 natively.
I don't think people can fault the administrator's support commitments, this guy has provided a free and open source solution that anyone can add to, maintain and support themselves.

I guess this extension is the best download manager at the moment.
But please if you release your extensions in a compressed file don't add the .svn files with it, we don't want and need all that mess on our server, there is a function in SVN where you can export the files in a clean way for release, use it!

Thanks, although your comments sound rather grudging! The .svn comment is somewhat nitpicking. I often do use export, but in any case the subversion files do not stay on the server, since they are not in the packaging XML.

This component is great. The support is more than you would expect from one man, he's really quick at responding and is honest with you which is great.
The backend could have a few extra features but when you have the developer answering your questions, well you can do just about anything.
I am just in the midst of customizing this a little more to suit my site, could be easier to do a few things but overall the install was straight forward (aka upload and install) and the backend functionality is fairly straightforward although it could use some alt-hover tags to explain here and there.

I use the tool more then one year and it works fine.
The support by martin is better then any commercial one! Reaction time less then one hour, lot of patience...
Perfectly great!
