    When the plugin generates download links these are always unique, however they may look the same to you when you try to compare them with the naked eye.

    Here is a quick way to test that the links are unique.

    Step 1: Generate 2 or 3 links in the admin functions of the eStore plugin.

    Step 2: Copy and paste these links in a searchable document (Word, Notepad, Context, etc).

    Step 3: Copy the top link and search the document for multiple occurrences (if the links are exactly the same then it will be able to find more than one occurrence). If it cannot find more than one occurrence then you know that they are not exactly the same even though it may look the same to you.

    Here is an example of two links that look that same but are not:

    Here are the differences between the two links:

    Link 1: Zhanoy

    Link 2: ZhaXry

    The difference may seem small, however this is actually a huge difference in the binary world.
