wpdm_setup_package_data function came very slow recently

    Hi, I have built my own plugin on top of WPML for display of items. As part of my plugin, I was using the wpdm_setup_package_data function to get an array of information on the retrieved item. While this function was very quick when I first implemented the system last fall, it became very slow with recent versions. Retrieving data on 25 items would take about 10 seconds for the output to get prepared, whereas the output was generated almost instantaneously when I commented out that single call.

    As a workaround, I am going straight to the meta post data and getting the information I need on each download package, but you should see about correcing the wpdm_setup_package_data utility function to regain its performance.

    If it is possible for us to check the issue in your site, it would be helpful for us to find the exact reason, if that’s ok with you, please post here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/forum/download-manager-free/

    No, it is not possible to see the issue on the site since it is a corporate intranet.

    Even if you could, I am not sure what you are expecting to see that could help isolate the issue just by looking at the page output. I am not using the shortcodes provided by Download Manager to display my files. I am using my own shortcode that I developed that is calling wpdm_setup_package_data within a WP_query loop that I constructed.

    The problem was occurring when I tried calling wpdm_setup_package_data. The web browser would not receive any data from the server for 10-11 seconds. When I replaced that call with retrieving the post meta directly, the refresh became instantaneous.

    The performance was originally very fast with this call when I first implemented this site last fall.

    Ok, no problem, however, we are rechecking this and hopefully it will be lot faster in next update.

    Hello, I would just like to chime in to report a similar issue on a site I manage.
    It seems also that the larger the file, the longer it takes for the download to start after hitting the “download” link.
    I am using wpdm_category to display whole categories at a time: usually less than 15 items per category.
    I also noticed like Yannick above that this issue does not occur when linking to a single file.
    And also, I didn’t have any issue with this with earlier versions.
