2) Enable the module using Administer -> Site building -> Modules
   (/admin/build/modules).

3) Configure user permissions in Administer -> User management -> Permissions 
   -> download_file module and "access direct download file".

   and click on the tab Display fields
   (/admin/content/node-type/"your type"/display).

   and add a new view by clicking the "Add new view" tab 
   (/admin/build/views/add) or edit an existing view by clicking the "Edit" 
   link (/admin/build/views/edit/"your view").
