After successfully uploading several files in more than one category and creating downloads that work, I have uploaded a file and created a new download only to have a 404 error in the frontend when trying to download the document. I have deleted the download, cleared the file from the jdownload directory, and cleaned the database. Still, I get the error. In the backend I can edit the download and download the file from the download link there.
Error: 404 - Download not found

Hello Paul,
sorry for the late reply. :-\
Have you solved it in the meantime?
By the way, i think this can not be really a bug. Nobody else has this problem.
So i will move your posting to another category.
As a former project manager for software development, I remember the most difficult bugs were the ones that could only be reproduced under certain "mysterious" circumstances.
This is a bug, I think, but I can't rule out any issue including human error.
No, I haven't been able to get past it.
I can upload the file to the Joomla server.
I can find the file to add to a new download and link to it. I can see the file on that page when I add it to the download.
I get a 404 error on the frontend when trying to download that file. All the other downloads work just fine.
I have cleared every cache I can find. I have cleaned traces of the file out of the database.
I'd be glad to let you take a look.
Ah, finally got the download to create. Human error, I suppose with an obscure link to click.
Thanks for the update. So it was not a bug. ;)
