Hello
I would like to implement a CAPTCHA before any file download request. How can I do this?
- Ideally, I would use the CAPTCHA installed by default in the Joomla configuration.
- If that's not possible, I would like to use a CAPTCHA developed by Phoca.
Thank you in advance for your help.

My site receives a huge number of bot visits and all my download statistics are wrong :-(

Hi, for now there is no option for download after captcha, the problem with captcha is that robots can solve it better than human now, so hard to say if it helps to have it installed.
Anyway, added to feature request list:
