    Disable download notifications for *just* guest downloads? No.

    However, you *can* set the "Download Notifications" setting for each file directory to "No" (in SCFG) or you can change the Uploader of the files in question to someone other than yourself.

    I see, thanks.

    Would you prefer a global option to turn off all download notifications (for all uploaders and downloaders)? Or maybe turn off all download notifications for "free" files?

    The latter of those 2 could be achieved by setting the text.dat/text.ini "FreeDownloadUserMsg" string to a blank string.

    The former could be achieved by setting the "DownloadUserMsg" string to a blank string.

    It'd also be possible to blank these strings at runtime (via JS) conditionally depending on the user logged-in, but that'd be for the terminal server, not the web server.

    I might play around with setting those to blank strings.
