  Is it possible to allow visitors to download files from my media library? I would like to make a post and offer a link to the file, and by clicking it, the visitor would start a download to his computer. How to go about that? thx.

  What kind of file? It basically works like that for pdfs and doc files now.

  *gif, *jpg, *png Do these work as well? They will open when being linked, but I would like to have a download started.

  No, browsers nowadays generally prevent downloads from being started without the popup warning box. And as for images, you can put the links into the blog just the same as you would a hyperlink.
