> Must-have utility plugin that allows you to download any plugin directly from 
> WordPress Dashboard!

WordPress download plugin is a utility plugin that does one thing, and does it perfectly.
It may sound simple, but this feature plugs a hole in current set of WordPress plugin
functionality. As a site admin you must be aware that you can search and install
WordPress plugins directly from the dashboard, or you can upload the plugin as zip
files, assuming you received it from another site (for example, a commercial plugin).
Once installed, all plugins list themselves inside Dashboard -> Plugins page. After
deactivating and deleting them, they simply disappear. All files are removed from
the server instantly. WordPress does not allow you to backup or download the plugins
before you jettison them from your site. If you also manage your server and are 
fairly comfortable doing so, you may find a more contrived way to download installed
plugins via directory manager app or FTP. Obviously, this requires more than a single
click and not for everyone.

What exactly are plugins and how this plugin helps you save time or bail you out
from difficult situations? Plugins are files and/ or directories, which are created
inside your WordPress installation (defined by WordPress) when you first install
them. Both active and deactivated files reside inside them. When you upload zip 
package of a plugin, WordPress extracts it and places the directory inside it in
the plugins folder. Our plugin allows you to reverse the process. It will convert
any plugin installed on your site into a zip package ready to be reinstalled later
or moved to another site. It accomplishes this by simply adding a new link “Download”
under the plugin title to already existing links. It is a single click process and
hardly takes any time. Our plugin does not create any other page in the dashboard
or clutter menus. It is lightweight, efficient and completely invisible until you
need it.

So why would you need it? While there can be many reasons, here are the primary 
we think you will find it useful.

#### A. Backup

The foremost and most common reason – when you wish to make backup of the plugin
for future installation.

#### B. Premium/ Commercial Plugins

If you have purchased the plugin from a vendor site, you may want to make a backup
of your new purchase to make sure you have it handy if the vendor is no longer available
or your account is expired. Please note: Do check terms of use for commercial plugins
on publisher’s site.

#### C. Migrating to a different site

So you have found yourselves dependent on some specific plugins that you want to
use on all of your sites? You can download these plugins from your current site 
do a folder on your hard disk from where you can upload to your other sites.

#### D. Preserving Changes

If you DIY type and made modifications to plugin files to suit your requirements,
you will want to make sure you have an archived copy of the plugin if the files 
get overwritten by an update etc.

Good plugin, does what you expect. I’d rate higher BUT – the most recent version(
1.5.1) is stupid. Adding features nobody wants. Little images to your plugins, making
it display less per screen, and often breaks the styling of the page shifting elements
behind the dashboard menu. EDIT: Now they’re advertising other completely unrelated
plugins inside my dashboard.. GTFO – 1 star

This plugin is very helpful to download favourite plugins you use on one site to
easily implement them on another site. I also made it a habit to download a plugin
before updating it, so I can do an easy rollback in case of problems. Having said
that, it would be awesome if the downloaded filename would include a version number
instead of just the plugin name. That way, you can keep an archive of various versions
after updates. The version number for every plugin is displayed in the plugins admin
screen, so it should be possible to include this in the filename, right?
