    Default Setting up downloads - why are they all expired ?

    I can't seem to get the downloads feature to work. I added the download attribute to a product and put the zipped file into the downloads folder. Everything seems to be in order. However, when I run a test order, I receive a message that the file download is expired and so I can't download it! What should I do?

    What are your download settings under Admin->Configuration->Attribute Settings ?

    How about "Number of Downloads Allowed - Per Product" ?

    Under Admin->Catalog->Downloads Manager, what's showing for "days" and "count" ?

    When you edit the order in Admin->Customers->Orders, how many days does it say are available?
    What's the status of the order?

    Under Admin->Catalog->Downloads Manager, "days" 10, downloads "1".

    Does that mean each customer can download it 1 only time?

    Under Admin->Config->Attribute Settings, Number of Downloads Allowed - Per Product" 1.

    Is that a limit on total downloads or a limit per customer?

    P.S. What should the access permissions be set to?

    Per customer, per order.


    If you increase that count to a higher number, what happens ? Can you now download the file?

    The access permissions for the zipped folder. Should it just be "read only"?
