Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

I think we are being confused by 'language'!  Also I think I may be misunderstanding.  The 'language' challenge is the difference between a Download in jD terms and 'downloading' as an action by a browser.  Just for clarity a jD Download comprises descriptions, previews , sample images and of course the file that is to be downloaded.

Now browsers only download one item at a time.  What you are requesting is a summary page that has a list of the files from selected downloads, which is already available by using check-box layouts.  But presently jD creates a single zip file of these 'files' and downloads it.  What you are requesting is that the Summary page list makes each file individually downloadable.  So the use clicks on each one in turn until all are done individually, or exits.  After each download the list of the remaining items is represented or the entire list is represented with those already downloaded suitably marked.

Is the above a summary of your request?

QuoteIf not, I'm going to use the Mirror fields fot this.
I think this is not a good idea and would not (really) work.

Better is to insert different links to different files via the jD content plugin in description!

If will use jD content plugin in description:

1. I need to create new hidden category for additional downloads.
2. If users will download using this link - downloads counter to the main file will not increase.

Ok, you have left me no choice  :(

I began to use mirror links as additional downloads.

You can see how it looks on page with PhotoStage Slideshow





but I am very limited in actions.

At first, I have only 3 links for files: main and 2 mirrors.

Is it possible to add  more mirrors?

Second thing. When user press on main file - he goes to summary page. But when user press on mirror links - downloading begin immediatly, without summary page.
