So, I'd like to sell files on my website. I need something very simple, just click on download, pay with PayPal and go. No logging in, no billing details, no secure server stuff, just one or two clicks.

Problem: I've installed ubercart and found it incredibly big and clunky. It has a lot of modules I don't need and brought my database to its knees (I had to increase the memory and all sorts of nasty things). I only want to sell 3 files in various flavors (i.e. linux, windows, mac) and need a one-button solution. Ubercart is nice....but is killing a fly with a cannon.

Quickfile seems to do exactly what I need. But development stopped at drupal 5. Is there any other module that does the same thing? Slim and easy?

What about using http://drupal.org/project/lm_paypal to buy nodes that have the files attached?

Hi, thanks, sounds like a good idea.

Sorry for the stupid question (I'm a drupal newbie). So if I understand what you're saying correctly I could:

1. Create a "product" node where one of the fields is a "file download" somehow? How do I get a "file download" field?

2. User can see the "product" node with product description, etc, but not the "file download" field until they pay? How would I set this up? Does lm_paypal allow me to somehow sell cck fields? And how do I make sure that my file hasn't been downloaded more than x times? Or that someone can figure out the url of the node and download it somehow?

Sorry if the questions are really stupid. I just started with drupal a couple of weeks ago and not sure yet how to plug things together. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
