I have the protected node installed. I tried to download a file I uploaded, but it brings me to a access denied page. It still brings up my hit count for the downloads though. But when I log in with a different account, I can download it fine. Do you have an idea of whats going on?

Chances are... 'protected node' uses a special table or mechanism to restrict access to nodes.

The only way I can 'guess' that a file was downloaded or not is by checking the node access table.

I cannot know for certain if another module blocked download or returned a header for the file... I can only know if the user has access or not to the node via normal means... through the node access table.

That's a limitation I cannot circumvent.
