Hello there.

I am running a forum with limited bandwidth and do not want users (admins, anyone) to be able to upload files to the downloads module to the sites file system.

I want the "import files from url" option to be the default and only allowed option. 

Is there a setting or plugin that disables the ability to upload files from the file system and forces link only submissions?

Thank you

Solved it.

If anyone is wondering how to do this, you need to remove the following from the downloads > submit > submitform template:

<div id='elDownloadsSubmit_uploader' class='ipsClear'>
                        {$form->elements['']['files']->html( $form )|raw}
                        <button type='button' class='ipsButton ipsButton_veryLight ipsButton_verySmall ipsHide' data-action='uploadMore'>{lang="upload_more_files"}</button>
                    </div>
