 +**Question:**\\
 +How do I disable the credit requirements so users can download whatever files they want when they want?
 +
 +**Answer:**\\
 +By default, Synchronet utilizes a "credit" system, where a user typically
 +earns credits by uploading files, posting messages, playing online games, 
 +etc. And downloading files requires a number of credits based on the size
 +of the file. Users can be automatically given a certain number of "free credits" per day (determined by the sysop), based on their security level value.
 +
 +If you wish to allow your users to download from any file areas whether or not they have enough credits required for the file(s) they want to download, you may:
 +  * Give specific (or all) users the (D)ownload Cost [[:access:exemptions|exemption]] (e.g. using a user editor or the [[module:binkit]] utility), or
 +  * Set the "Free Downloads" Toggle Option for one or more of your file areas in [[module:binkit]] to "Yes"
