limit number of dowloads

I've set Configuration > Files > Download Number Limit to 1. But, I'm still able to download documents as many times as I want. I assumed after downloading once, if I tried again, I'd get a message saying I couldn't do it... I'd really like to limit the download times and numbers. Can you please advise why this might not be working for me?

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply. I tried editing an existing file product and uploading a new file product, but there was no option for limiting the number of downloads on the screen that I get to do these things. I've attached a screenshot, which is what I see when I try to edit or upload a file product. Am I still looking in the wrong place? I appreciate your help!

PS, I'd also like to have a time limit for downloading. Like the download number limit, the download time limit option is under Configuration and doesn't seem to work. Should that time limit option be available for individual product files as well? Thanks!

Thanks again Jerome, I updated to the latest version and now the "download number limit" field is there in the product file edit window as you said.

However, I set the limit to "1" in the file edit window (so now it's set to 1 in both places: config. default and individual file) and I can still download as many times as I want. (I downloaded the file 5 times, and in the product window, under Files>Downloads it shows 5/1.)

After the first download, should I be getting a message saying I've reached my limit? Please advise! Thank you!

PS. Although the add/edit file windows are all the same, is there a difference in the way limiting downloads works, depending on whether the file must be paid for or is free of charge?

Hi Jerome, I'm sorry, but most of your last answer doesn't make any sense to me.

I've posted a document as a free download (on product page) with a link on the front end of my site. The download number limit is "1" in both the default and individual setting for this document. However, I've can still download this document unlimited times (including after leaving/refreshing the site). I'm not signed in to the back end at all or as an administrator.

I have not tried downloading a "paid for" (versus free) document yet, since changing their download number limit to 1 only. I'm going to conduct a "test buy" and see if these can also be downloaded more than once or not. - But the free one definitely can be.
