A first beta release of "Pay to Download XT" is available. Although there are a lot of paypal integration modules available none of them suited my needs. "Pay to Xownload XT" simply does what it says: Users have to pay to download certain files. Great, if you e.g. want to sell some eBooks. "Pay to Download XT" is a simple component that needs only minimum configuration. Main features are:

• Real accounts and test accounts (paypal sandbox) supported
• Simple configuration for Items to sell (Name, HTML-description, prices (price + tax and currency) and file upload)
• uses Payment Data Transfer (PDT) for security (status, e.g. confirmed or pending is not checked)
• Versios for Joomla 1.0 (also runs on 1.5 in legacy mode) and for Joomla 1.5 (native and/or legacy mode available)

"Pay to Download XT" displays the decription for the item & a paypal "pay now" button. By clicking, the user is redirected to paypal, makes his payment and is directed back to your site and - if the transaction was correct - may download the specified file.
