 * In my case the files inserted are PDFs.

 * At this time the only “fast” fix I have found is to avoid the force download:
   setting every download in “redirect to file” mode and removing the “deny from
   all” .htaccess that you can find in “wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads”.

 * As I cannot reproduce this, I’ve asked to access to someones install. Will update
   when I find the cause of this.

   my contact form on my website.

 * I’ve found that the line that breaks the code (at least on GoDaddy) is
 * @ob_end_clean();
    line 242 on includes/class-dlm-download-handler.php
 * If you comment it out the file is download correctly 😉

 * Found a fix also – pushing live in 1.2.1 later on.
