For BPS Pro questions please post them in the BulletProof Security Pro Forum: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/forum/bulletproof-security-pro/ in the future. The BulletProof Security Pro forum has an enhanced search feature and is very well organized and maintained for optimum searchability to make finding things simple and quick. 😉
BPS Pro works with all other plugins, but in some cases will block something legitimate and a whitelist rule will need to be created to allow whatever legitimate thing that is being blocked.
The BPS Pro Security Log is a primary troubleshooting tool and logs anything legtimate that is being blocked as well as logging blocked hackers, spammers, etc. Post the Security Log entry that is related to the file download that is being blocked. The Security Log entry will contain the file name of the file that is being blocked from being downloaded.
Most likely what is occurring is the file extension type is a file extension that is blocked by default in UAEG and there are a couple of possible methods to whitelist/allow this.

I am fairly new to this process, but I just need people to be able to download certain .rar files for free downloads as well as be able to send digital product links through my ecommerce without the links being protected.

Oh ok then no need to post any Security Log entries. rar files are blocked by default in the UAEG .htaccess file. To allow rar files to be downloaded do these steps:
1. Edit the UAEG .htaccess file: To edit your Uploads Anti-Exploit Guard (UAEG) .htaccess file go to the B-Core >>> htaccess File Editor tab page and click on the “Your Current Uploads htaccess File” tab.
2. Delete the file extension that you want to allow and click the Update File button to save your changes. In this case delete rar as shown below. Note: The file extensions are in alphabetical order.
# FORBID THESE FILE EXTENSIONS FROM BEING ACCESSED OR EXECUTED REMOTELY
