 * Support,
 * Download Manager appears to be causing loopback errors on my site.
    The site 
   health status indicates the following:
 *     ```
       Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.
   
       The loopback request to your site failed, this means features relying on them are not currently working as expected.
       Error: Too many redirects (http_request_failed)
       ```
   
 * When, I disable Download Manager plugin, the site passes all health checks.
    
   Running WordPress 5.5.3 with Download Manager 3.1.15.
 * Suggestions on how I can resolve this?

 * Unfortunately after the latest update on 03/23 it is still not working correctly
   with version 3.1.16 on WordPress 5.5.3. I have deactivated it, the loopback error
   is now gone, and I have to find another download manager.
 * I cannot upgrade to WP 5.7 because of other plugins only good up to WP 5.6.2.
   I might give it another chance when I can upgrade to 5.7.
