Downloads Folder:
(Location where downloadable files are located, ex. "downloads")
Download Method
Use "Stream" method
Use "Stream" method (Send in 10K byte chunks) ** RECOMMENDED **
With the "Stream" methods, downloads are initiated with ASP.NET's "Stream" functions, which is more secure as the file location is not revealed. Instead, a virtual download link is created. However some "firewalls" and "proxy" servers may interfere or prevent this type of download. If your web server/plan has limited memory or your downloads are very large, you should select the "send in chunks" option.
Use physical location method
This method uses a simple download link, which specifically refers to the file location on your server. While the location is still somewhat hidden, multiple downloads are possible if user is web savvy.
Download Availability
Immediate / Automatic
Downloads are available immediately following checkout. Best when used with the Authorize.NET gateway
Manual
Downloads are not available to customers until you activate them manually (in the customer order). This is recommended when using the Weblink payment gateways (this allows you to verify a payment was received before a customer downloads)
