Try this…

WP eStore -> Settings -> Addon Settings -> Download Manager Related Settings -> Automatic URL Conversion Preference -> Do Not Convert

[rramirez125]

That did it thank you very much!!

[otherrecords]

The size of the downloaded file is 0 bytes. I tried changing DL methods and URL Conversion Prefs and still no luck. My log show’s something like this (with no conversion):

Here’s an example of the link problem: http://www.other-records.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/download.php?file=2xOa%2FSMBW%2FWThKni

[12/21/2010 6:21 AM] – Status : Unresolved DL file path = [Show’s the real file location]

[12/21/2010 6:21 AM] – Status : Resolved DL file path = [Show’s the real file location]

[12/21/2010 6:21 AM] – Advisory : No DL file path conversion performed on URL.

[12/21/2010 6:21 AM] – Status : Dispatching DL method = 1

If I uncheck the ‘Downloadable’ setting, it works. But unlike some users, I’m not getting a RAM error.

Help please!

what version of eStore are you using? If it is less than 4.8.x, please upgrade.

Could you also provide more information about the file you are testing with?

[otherrecords]

I’m using eStore v4.8.1.

The real file will be a ~95 MB ZIP archive which has a bunch of MP3s (customers pay for a music album). The file is located in a “downloads” folder at the root of the site.

I’m testing right now with just one song inside a ZIP (14.94 MB)

Hosting is by GoDaddy. WordPress v3.0.3

[wzp]

What happened is that the server, for whatever reason, terminated the download script; after a few MB were transferred. Adjustment of PHP.ini settings doesn’t seem to work. The last time I investigated this, I was led to conclude that it may be caused by the HTTP send/receive timeout value in the Apache httpd.conf file; which GoDaddy will not allow you to change.

If the file were broken into smaller parts, the problem will most likely go away.

As an alternative, you can try using the new Amazon S3 integration feature. Your file would be hosted on Amazon S3. After eStore receives the encrypted link, the buyer’s browser is redirected to the S3 server.

Amazon has a trial offer, in which the first 5 GB is free for one year…

http://aws.amazon.com/free

[otherrecords]

I created the Amazon S3 account. Created a Bucket and uploaded the ZIP file in there. I also added the identifier info (Settings > Add-On Settings).

And for the product URL I put:

as3tp://[bucket name].s3.amazonaws.com/[Zip File]

And I got this error: “Please tell us the AS3TP URI for the product was either malformed or that the AS3TP configuration is incorrect. Thank you!”

[otherrecords]

I used this as reference – http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/amazon-web-services-simple-storage-service-aws-s3-integration-1101

Help please!

Second Scenario:

When I make the file public and put the new S3 URL for the eStore Product, it gives a 0 byte zip file, like before.

So far it looks like a non-storage/bandwidth issue. But let’s see..

[wzp]

Have you correctly setup and entered the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key information?

Can I contact you at the phone number shown in your Whois record?

[otherrecords]

That number is for the owner who doesn’t deal with the technical part of things. Can you send a simple email (Redacted by moderator WZP), so that I can reply with my phone number?

Thanks alot for your fast responses!

[wzp]

You’ve got mail!

For anyone else trying to use the S3 feature…

The AWS Console is very lax about what you can name your buckets. However, the S3 feature strictly adheres to, and enforces, the AWS bucket naming restrictions.

http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/index.html?BucketRestrictions.html

Please DO NOT use upper case letters in your bucket names!
