Almost perfect
Does what it says. My experience is that the Delete xxxx Revisions button still has the number in it after you click it, and you have to load the page again to see there are no excess revisions.
Handy
Keeps revisions under control. Cheers.

WP Download Manager Review
The plugin is way too complex for an average user. The protection for download takes too many steps. I found not ever get the preview option only to display. I ask for a refund within the first 14
