 * Hi,
    Since the last update, the downloaded files have a 600 permission instead
   of 644 when I addind a new file.
 * So, by clicking on the link, there is a mistake, mod_security is deactivated 
   and I update my permalinks twice

 * Do you have a solution?
 * Thank you,

 * Hmm, this plugin doesn’t chmod the file. There is no code inside that does it.
   So my guess is some type of OS level thing that is modifying newly added file?

 * Hi Lester,
    Here is the answer from the host:: I checked the extension settings
   from the administrator interface but found no anomalies. So I pushed the investigation
   towards the source code and I manage to detect an error in the code of the file’download-
   add.php’ line 39. Also I suspect a problem with the functioning of the “Function:
   File Permission” in the file “wp-downloadmanager.php”.
 * FRANÇAIS:
    J’ai vérifié les paramètres de l’extension depuis l’interface administrateur
   mais sans trouver d’anomalie. Donc j’ai poussé l’investigation vers le code source
   et j’arrive à détecter une erreur dans le code du fichier ‘download-add.php’ 
   ligne 39. Également je soupçonne un souci au niveau de la fonctionne ‘Function:
   File Permission’ dans le fichier ‘wp-downloadmanager.php’.
 * Thank You,
    PierreD

 * move_uploaded_file() is PHP function [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php).
   The wp-downloadmanager.php has not been touched for 3 years [https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-downloadmanager/blob/master/download-add.php](https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-downloadmanager/blob/master/download-add.php).
   Last modified is on 9 Nov 2016. So it is impossible to be the last update causing
   an issue for you.

 * Hi Lester,
    Sorry to have bothered you, but the problem came from the servers.
 * Thank you for taking the time to analyze the problem.
