That is what I previously mentioned… that “Error!” is because the PDF Stamper had a problem. Could you please confirm for me the following information?
1. Are you trying to download a file that uses the PDF Stamper?
2. If #1 is yes, can you download other files that do not use the PDF Stamper?
3. If #1 is yes, can you manually stamp the file?
4. If #1 is no, is the product URL valid?
Aside from the technical best practices, I always recommend entering into an SLA (Service Level Agreement) with your provider. The SLA should cover legal aspects of data security. You should also investigate getting data liability added to your business insurance policy.
As for the technical stuff…
1. Keep good backups. Use a weekly and daily backup strategy.
2. Keep your software updated.
3. Keep a hot image of your last working site, in case that last update was bad. Think restore points for WordPress.
4. Uninstall themes and plugins that you don’t use.
5. Research new plugins before using them. Try them out on a test system first.
The list can go on forever, but you get the idea…
I’m personally not an expert on these, but You might try backtracking and see if you updated anything besides eStore lately. Also Google searches for the keywords “query string URL WordPress” come up with some interesting results.
I think I see the problem…
I know the download.php file is executable, because if I call up the URL http://livingkitchenwellness.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/download.php I get an invalid request message from the script, because I didn’t include the query string.
So, that means the problem is the query string. If I add the query string back into the URL, the site returns a page not found, instead of executing the download.php file, because it is interpreting the query string as part of the URL; instead of passing it to download.php like it should.
In other words, it is actually trying to load a file called download.php?file=2xOa%2FCoFUPKTjKTq instead of executing download.php and passing it the file=2xOa%2FCoFUPKTjKTq query string.
I believe that there are problems with the Mod Rewrite rules on the server.
@olivernat According to the page not found message, your server is not able to find the “download.php” file in the plugin directory. Please check to make sure it exists.
Also, please check the WP eStore -> Settings -> General Settings -> Digital Product Delivery Settings section to see if any warning messages are listed.
Aha!!! “Error!” is the filename returned when the PDF Stamper breaks…
Is that what you are trying to download? If so, can you download a non PDF Stamped file?
That error message is coming from your server, not eStore. Since you are able to use a link from an IP logged in as admin, I suspect a permissions problem.
Please ensure that plugin directory permissions are set to 755 and that there are no .htaccess restrictions in effect.

“…now you can execute PHP too!”
Instead of using the eStore short code [wp_eStore_free_download_ajax:product_id:5:end] you must use the PHP function <?php echo eStore_free_download_form(5); ?> instead, as per:

PayPal does not allow you to charge zero dollars for anything. You must use the “redirect to manual checkout” option, as described here…

Create a test page with a squeeze form. Then do a download from it and see what the email address is.
Sounds like a permissions issue. What exactly, does the page not found message say? Is it a 494 page not found message? If so, p,ease ensure that the minimum permissions on the plugin directory are 755.
Correct…
A Bucket Full Of Objects — Amazon S3
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/a-bucket-full-of-objects-amazon-s3-3052
Objects are referenced by their “keys,” which consist of an optional “pseudo folder” (directory) path name, followed by the name of the object. The keys “His-Stuff/test.txt” and “Her-Stuff/test.txt” refer to 2 separate instances of the “test.txt” object. Because the “folder” name part of the keys are unique, so are the object instances. The term “pseudo folder” is used because S3 does not really store objects in folders; the same way that Windows, OS-X or Linux does. The entire object key is considered (by S3) to be the equivalent of a file name.
