This is designed as a Lower Center panel which will search your downloads folder and attempt to match older versions of existing downloads and display them in downloads.php. Eg; If a download file is called mydownloadfile_v1.2.zip this panel will ignore the last 9 characters (see configuration) of the filename leaving just mydownloadfile and will search your downloads folder for any other file matching "mydownloadfile" and display any found just below the download button.

mydownloadfile_v1-2.zip & mydownloadfile_v1-1.zip will match

mydownloadfile_v1-2.zip & v1-2mydownloadfile.zip will not match
