Well its kinda sad...........I got it to work perfectly. I deleted all I had done before and set up the product again, and somehow it works now. the sad part is, I don't know what all I did differently so can't be of help to anyone experiencing the same issues I had.

Downloads are NOT:
Product is Virtual
Product is Always Free Shipping

Downloads go in the directory;
/download

If on a unix site, set the directory
/pub

to 777 and turn Redirect ON

If your hosting site does not allow you symbolic links to work with:
/pub/.htaccess

#prevent directory browsing -- for security
IndexIgnore */*

Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes

the you will need to talk to your hosting site and ask why you do not have control over your own server ... or turn OFF the Redirect ...

Then set the Orders Status on each of the Payment Modules ...

NOTE: the settings on PayPal are usually correct ...

But how do you:

Have a product that is either download only OR download + physical product? I have the options set in a drop-down, but here's what I'm getting:

When I select download only it charges shipping and sales tax.

Please help!
