As a provider of product/plugins, I highly recommend adding the appropriate output format so that the Download plugin can handle the import process itself. Or add the ability to MAP the CSV import columns to the correct data fields, like WooCommerce for example.

Currently, it is very inconvenient as I have faced this issue on several client websites where the file fails to import using any method except WP ALL Import Pro or using an SQL import file.

My solution I found ended up using WP All Export/Import Pro.

Failed attempts:
1) Exporting from Download Manager, then formatted the CSV per the documentation. Still results in the failed issue.
2) Exporting using Tools > Export, then import in the staging site the import hangs on the downloads import.

After investigation, the issue was identified as poor programming with inconsistent export and import formats.
