Zero cost downloads?

I have a Pro account which allows me to set pricelists etc. Fine for my professional photos.

Two questions:
1) When I take photos for family I would like them to be able to download them free. If I'm not mistaken, Smugmug imposes a minimum price for download.

Is this correct or is there a way to allow free downloads to guests? Is this a feature Smugmug are considering having sometime to keep up with the competition?

2) Another thing is the facility to self-fulfil orders. The labs are SO expensive for family. I can print at a pro lab for half the price!

For my professional photos (weddings etc) the labs are fine but I would value the option to self-fulfil.

    Oh, and by the way, I know I could disable right-click protection but I would prefer to send people through the checkout for 0.00 if possible so I know who has downloaded the images.

    1) Downloading is free. All you do is enable the ability to download images in a gallery and then anyone viewing it can download the image. However, they will have to download them one at a time. If you want them to be able to download all the images in a gallery, you can use your admin tools to request a ZIP file for all the images in a gallery. Once that is emailed to you, you can forward the link to your family.

    2) This is not available at the moment. Has been heavily requested but I'm not sure if there is any plan to implement this.
