For a Drupal 5.x equivalent to this module, see http://drupal.org/project/recognized_user
This module adopts the known (or recognised) user concept, like you see on websites like eBay and Amazon, where a user who has previously logged in to the site is remembered by a cookie. In the case of this module, the site administrator can optionally assign a role to known users, extending their permissions to do some things that are more than an anonymous user can do.
As an example, with a site I'm working on you have to login to download files. However, for "remembered" known users we don't want them to have to login just to get a file - that's annoying - so we'll create a 'known user' role, set it as the role for known users to receive (in admin/user/known-user-role) and allow it to download files. That means you don't have to login fully to download files, but you must have logged in at least once on that computer in the last 30 days.
The Dataset module is for grouping nodes together in sets. A typical use case for this module is if you are importing data from a 3rd party in to nodes and you wish to know if a piece of data is no longer in a feed. If you update all the existing items in the feed,as you parse it, so they are in a new set, then any items that were not in the feed this time will be in an older set, so you know you can delete them because they are no longer valid. Dataset includes functions for performing bulk actions on nodes in a given set or sets.

This module extends the functionality of the File Field module for CCK by adding a "Maximum file size" field to the admin form for every field of type "file". This allows you granular control over the size of files each individual CCK field can handle. If this functionality is not required for a given field (e.g. one only available to trusted users) you can simply leave it as 0 and it will use the standard File Field behaviour.
