Have you tried URL preference = Relative, and DL Method – 1?
The log file is saying…
1. Absolute preference is not working.
2. Since Absolute is not working, it is trying “Do not convert.”
3. Your server is running in PHP Safe Mode.
4. Which does not work with the “Do not convert” preference on DL Method 1.
5. So, it is trying to use Method 7 instead.
6. Which is not working.
7. So it just plain gave up!
So, if you could please; reset the debug logs, swith to Relative URL conversion preference, and DL Method 1, then try again.
Let them. Amazon’s legal department can fix their little red wagon better than you can, if someone tries messing with your bucket, LOL.
This comment addresses others who have been wondering about %3D%3D in the URL and if it has something to do with their download problems…
This morning, I too ran across the %3D%3D issue. It occurred after I upgraded PDF Stamper from 1.8 to 2.1.1, but went away after I went back to the 1.8 version. I still get %3D%3D at the end of the URL but no errors.
So, in my case, it had nothing to do with having %3D%3D in the URL, but with the 2.1.1 version of PDF Stamper. Attempting to manually stamp the same file under both versions results in an unspecified error occurring when stamping under 2.1.1 but a successful manual stamp under the older 1.8 version.
Since some people do not have PDF Stamper installed, I think the problem is not being able to find a file, and that the %3D%3D has nothing to do with the issue. In my case, eStore was trying to download a file called “Error!” which is the filename that PDF Stamper 2.1.1 returned to eStore after the failed stamping attempt.
If one were to enable debugging and then look in the download_manager_debug.log file, they can see the resolved file path that eStore was trying to download.
As for the browser attempting to download the “download.php” file, I defer to Amin’s previous comments.
The bucket and object names are protected with Amazon’s expiring URL request, which is the long query string at the end of the URL. So long as the object is not marked as public access, in the S3 console, nobody can access it without the proper authorization.
The encrypted eStore link still serves the purpose of limiting the number of times and period for which files can be accessed. Each time an encrypted link is used, it is converted into an expiring URL request, which must be used within 5 minutes (default).
If a buyer tries to bookmark the expiring URL request, and uses it after 5 minutes (default), they will be blocked by Amazon security.
P.S. I am assuming you used the eStore S3 integration feature.
No. Because the “Show Terms & Conditions Checkbox” according to the documentation “If checked the customers will have to agree to the Terms and Conditions before they can checkout.”
In other words, checking the T&C checkbox is a precondition before they can proceedto checkout.

You can perhaps query the database table “wp_eStore_sales_tbl” for the e-mail address and product ID. This same information can also be found in “wp_eStore_customer_tbl” but that table is only updated for paid products (does not include free downloads).
iTunes has a ton of Terms & Conditions also, but that did not stop me from doing a successful chargeback recently.
The point is that you can only hope that your product, price and service is good enough to minimize customer dissatisfaction.
It may be difficult to find such a processor, because the restrictions seem to be originating with the Reserve Bank of India.

You must use another payment processor, that is “India friendly.” That, or use manual checkout and process the payments by hand.
Of course, there is the security aspect… In the above example, what happens if a Groupon customer passes out that $1 coupon to their friends? The result is that some poor soul becomes the 801st purchaser!
So, what you do is create 16 coupon “pools” of 60 uses each. That gives you 960 redeemable coupons, 800 plus 160 (20% more) for shrinkage. Because the coupons are broken into 16 pools, the damage from coupon passing is limited to 20% of each pool.
*** Re-edited after having my first cup of coffee… ***
It would seem, from the FAQ, there is no immediate interaction between your site and the Groupon customer. With that said, and without having used it myself, here is one possible scenario that might play out…
You enter into a contract with the folks at Groupon to offer a coupon that allows purchasers to buy a $30 item for $1. You are selling this coupon for $5 to Groupon customers if Groupon brings in a minimum of 500 coupon orders within 24 hours. Groupon does its thing and collects its monies, in bulk from its members. Groupon sends you the money and a request for 800 coupons…
I don’t think you would get customer information, just a request for an anonymous number of coupons; Groupon’s FAQ clearly promises its members that Groupons are transferable…
So you then generate 800 coupons for a particular product ID, that allows the purchase of that product for only $1.
Of course, this is only a half-baked idea, based on the Groupon FAQ.

3. WP eStore –> Coupons/Discounts
4. WP eStore -> Add/Edit Products –> Variations
1. Can you download the unstamped files for 2 & 3?
2. Can you manually stamp files 2 & 3?
3. Can You manually generate encrypted links for stamped versions of files 2 & 3?
4. If you enable debug files, do the “resolved DL file paths,” in the download manager debug file, for stamped versions of files 2 & 3 correctly correspond to the locations of valid files from the PDF Stamper?
