OK. You are right. It is working but you should have included some kind of warning near the “Download speed” setting:

Please make sure you have enabled both “Resumable Downloads” and “Output Buffering” for this setting to work.

as it appears that only with both of them enabled the download speed limiting is working, otherwise not.
Please include this warning text in the future version of the WPDM Pro plugin so that users will be informed about this.

It would be nice if the speed limiting feature could also work with “Resumable Downloads” option disabled.

I disabled “Resumable Downloads” and “Output Buffering” features.
Makes no difference. The download speed is still way over the set limit.

I have investigated the way WPDM Pro is controlling the download speed using $bandwidth parameter in its PHP code and why is not working or if the $bandwidth is properly controlled by the $speed parameter.

There seems to be the same download speed regardless of the value set in the Download speed field in the WPDM Pro settings.
Tried using 1 kb/s, 10 kb/s, 100 kb/s to test…

Yes there are functional problems with the automatic update. But all data is stored in the MySQL database so just delete the contents of “download-manager” folder then copy the new version files using a FTP client for example.

I hope however, that the automatic update will be fixed by the WPDM Pro plugin developers.

I can confirm that in the new release v 4.7.1 the link-expired problem has been fixed.

Test the captcha bug live here:
http://lmdesign.ro/download/wpdm-pro-captcha-test/

I hope this problem will be resolved and more attention will be paid by the developers of this plugin to captcha functionality including the following:
-captcha lock compatibility with all link templates and page templates provided with the pro version of the plugin
-new invisible captcha functionality to be integrated, as with the new Google reCaptcha technology allows invisible captcha

Just put WPDM 4.7.0 Pro on a standard, default WP install (4.8.2). The downloaded file could be directly from the root of the website like “licencse.txt” from the WP installation. I tested on default configuration with no changes made in the WPDM plugin settings other then pasting reCAPTCHA Site Key and reCAPTCHA Secret Key. I created a new package named “test” and for testing purposes I added “lincese.txt” file to it from the site root and I selected “Single Column, Image Top, Extended” for page template.

Result: right after captcha is solved a new download window pops-up with the “link-expired.txt”

I shifted many environment variables [target file, browser, browser caching, package name various plugin download options]
Nothing works.
On some page templates like “Metro Style” the captcha opens in a pop-up. That captcha is not usable. Erorr: reCaptcha service can not be accessed… So please make sure that the captcha lock module is working and also make a simple check of captcha with each link template and page template.

-until now, I achieved the same result on 2 separate hosting environments (both using cPanel on linux)
-the issue is not related with output buffering or resumable downloads options
-the links can be normally downloaded and are valid if the captcha lock is not used, conclusion being that the captcha lock module does not get valid links from the plugin core
-I can not find the previous version, WPDM 4.6.9 Pro to download and test. Please send it to me If you can. Downgrading might be the best solution for me at this point.

I have made more tests and it appears that captcha control script module has some bug in it as the other delivery methods output valid links (eg. password protected links). I will try to revert back to previous version of the WPDM Pro plugin as this is a huge bug of version: 4.7.0 pro that needs to be fixed.
