Like this?
And what we try to do is be able to monitor who and how many times the
zips are downloaded, so yes it would make sense to link to this page:
http://www.xerte.org.uk/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=510&view=viewcategory&catid=3
Or the actual jDownloads page, where the Overview and Up makes more
sense. Now the download button brings you directly to one of the
Categories pages. The actual downloads page is here:
http://www.xerte.org.uk/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=viewcategories&Itemid=510
The Language selection panels and the login panels are seperate Joomla
modules, so it is possible, but not easy to combine them.
The rest you should ask Inge. But she's on vacation this week.
