Description
Currently, for file downloads only URL's are supported. This means that if the website running the CMS is also hosting the files, a direct URL to these files have to be exposed. The download module needs to be modified to support both URL's and local files.
Also, there is no way other than FTP to place files for the download module on the webserver. An admin module needs to be made to make this possible, which should also allow the file to be uploaded to be directly linked to a download_id.

Implemented in changeset [2012].
The download admin module now has an extra panel, to upload files for inclusion in the downloads.
In the configuration, main settings, there is now an option to select if you want to specify files in the download module via URL. If you choose "No", the URL field is replaced by a file dropdown showing all uploaded files. If you choose "Yes", you can still use file uploads, but have to define the URL als '/file/downloads/your-uploaded-file-here.zip' (note, NO http:// or hostname in the URL field!)
