You should be able to left click the link. If it’s because it starts to “play” instead, there is a browser setting someplace, to give you the open or save as option.
If the S3 file is marked as public, (default is private), it should work. just give the regular http URL to the player.
Change the bucket name, then use…
as3tp://dj_conta_songs.s3.amazonaws.com/DJ_Contacreast_Skybeam.mp3
Change “bucket” to the name of your S3 bucket. Also, it won’t work if your bucket name contains any upper case letters.
Amin might want to examine this file, but when you mentioned the size, I suspect it may have something to do with the content. he’ll be in, later today.
No, you would not. If you want to collect e-mail addresses, use the squeeze page form instead. Then look in the “Manage Customers” settings panel for that information.
It may have something to do with the contents of the PDF file. What program did you use to create the file, and is there a way to recreate the file?
The file name “DJ Contacreast – Skybeam.mp3” is not valid, because it contains spaces.
The other thing I’d like to mention is that when you use an external server to host your files, the amount of bandwidth used for the download is doubled; because eStore first reads the file into your server and then resends it to the buyer. The preferred way to externally host files is to use eStore’s native Amazon S3 integration feature. When using S3, after the encrypted link is decoded, the buyer is redirected to the higher performace Amazon servers, using an expiring URL request.
Amazon Web Services Simple Storage Service (AWS S3) Integration
Hosting on Amazon S3 is free for the first year, and typical billing reports fom eStore users are about 14 cents a month.
You can use a “Free Download Now” button, or a “Squeeze Page” form. The download now button allows the user to do one click downloads of free products. The squeeze page form will e-mail a download link to the user.

How to Make a Squeeze Page Using the WordPress eStore Plugin

Hi Marc,
The reason eStore reports it can’t find the file, is because PDF Stamper couldn’t successfully stamp the original file; resulting in no stamped output file eStore could deliver. When you disabled stamping for the file, eStore delivered the unstamped version.
The crux of the problem is that your server ran out of Memory that could be allocated to PHP. Since the stated limit of 67,108,864 bytes is pretty generous and the request for only 262,144 bytes is not unreasonable; and that you stated that …it no longer works… we need to examine what happened to the memory allocation.
Between the time it was working and now, did you add any new theme, plugins or scripts to your WP setup?
