Got it. I just wanted to get Amin more technical information, so he has something to go on, when he wakes up (It’s 12:31 AM now in Australia).
When you say “…with 128 MB,” that is the number from the phpinfo() call?
When you said it worked for Firefox, was that with the 10 MB or the 47 MB file?
In Amin’s post, he says “…the file will be temporarily loaded in your server’s RAM.” Which means your PHP memory requirement is going to be at least 47 MB, plus the memory needed for the download script and other variables it uses.
If it only occurs on files above X MB in size, and you only have a few files (less than 5%) of that size; it may be worth the risk of unchecking the “Downloadable” checkbox for those files and letting the browser have direct access to them. The user still gets an encrypted link, but during the actual download, the “real” location will be revealed to the browser.
I think the question that also needs to be answered is “how much memory is your provider limiting you to?”
In the top level directory of your site, crate a my_php_info.php file that contains the following 3 lines:
<?php
phpinfo(INFO_ALL);
?>
Execute the script, using the http://yousite.com/my_php_info.php URL, replacing “yoursite.com” with the appropriate information
Under the “Configuration PHP Core” section of the report, is an entry labeled “memory_limit.” What does it say?
When you are done (make a printout), please delete the file, so that unauthorized persons cannot stumble upon this information.
As noted in the WP Codex, many hosting providers limit PHP to 8 MB.

On my Go Daddy host, I get 32 MB.
I think it might be an ownership problem…
Having a main directory permission of 755 with log files of 644 shouldn’t be the cause.
Is “reforme” your account name on your server? were all the user and group ownerships set to “reforme” before, or did you change them?
If you were to create a test directory, called “test” would the user and group ownerships be “reforme” or something else?
Are you using a Linux server?

This won’t fix your problem, but ASAP please, Please, PLEASE, do a chmod 644 on the files with 0777 permissions (the ones marked -rwxrwxrwx).
Amin would have to first make a “business decision,” as to whether or not he wants to support a feature that is so tightly coupled between eStore & eMembers, the feature becomes unusable for WishList or any other membership plugins.
The closest thing to limiting coupon use, IMHO without tying the feature to any particular membership plugin, is the idea to have a 1 per e-mail address conditional on coupons.
There is a short answer, and a long boring philosophical answer…
Short Answer: That specific capability does not currently exist.
Long Boring Philosophical Answer: You are faced with what, in the security business, we call the “insider threat.” To better understand this threat, let’s look at some real-life retail scenarios…
Walmart & Sam’s Club: You need to be a Sam’s Club member to enjoy savings over that of Walmart shoppers. To get these savings, you have to show your membership card when you enter the store. Members are allowed to bring guests with them. But in order to make any purchases, the purchaser must present a valid membership card at the register. Members are allowed to make purchases for guests. In fact, there is no limit on the number of purchases a member can make for guests. Why? 1. A sale is a sale. 2. At some point, the member will tell the guest to “quit leeching off me and get your own card.”
You can already implement this scenario by having 2 eStores, on different WP sites, one that anyone can buy at, and the other with the “Only logged in members can checkout” option set.
The Employee Discount: HP has a generous 50%+ discount program for its employee on computer systems. To prevent employees from abusing that discount, HP only allows 1 employee discount per model computer. 1. Employees will think twice about giving out “their” discount for the hottest system. 2. If an employee is suddenly able to purchase one of every computer HP comes out with, they let the Ethics & Human Resources departments deal with the situation.
Perhaps Amin could add another coupon condition to eStore that would limit coupon use to one per customer e-mail. That way, people would think twice about sharing coupons. It is also analogous to the 1 per customer concept. Now, as for the matter of people using multiple e-mail addresses, unless you are selling heavily discounted iPads, I think that it would be an acceptable risk. Besides, a sale is a sale.
Amin could also decide to implement a “logged in only” condition, as you suggested; but I think the 1 per e-mail option is the more flexible way to go.
@awpcp — By any chance, are you able to examine the wp_eStore_sales_tbl in the MySql database? If so, look for the transaction that matches the product ID in question. The customer e-mail address, to whom that sale is credited should be there.
“Check the ‘business’ variable value in your item button code. The email notification is sent to address that is provided to PayPal by the ‘business’ variable value.”
Under eStore -> Settings -> Payment Gateway Settings -> -> PayPal Settings -> PayPal Email Address/Secure Merchant ID, it should be your new primary address.
