You might need to flush your permalinks.
Navigate to Settings >> Permalinks in WordPress. You don’t need to save anything, just visit that page.
I am having the same issue, and I have flushed the permalinks (several times). I am working on my site, and every time I add or update a plugin, the wp publications quit working.
Simply visiting the permalinks doesn’t seem to flush them, so the archive works again. If I go to the permalinks and change it to the default, they work fine. Then I change back to my custom structure /%category%/%postname%, sometimes they will work, sometimes not. I may have to repeat this process several times to get it to stick.
I love the archive and the way it looks and works (when it does). Hopefully we can get this fixed so that the permalinks stay put through changes.
Thanks-

I’m having the same issue. I’ve looked at the code, trying to find what could be wrong, but it all seems to be in order. I have no idea what to do to fix it.
I have flushed the permalinks more than once and it doesn’t work either.
The site is in portuguese, but I was careful not to let the language break the code.
Here’s an exemple of what’s going on: http://cac-uerj.com.br/publicados/fernandes/
Every “Open” or “Download” link loads the 404 error.
Thanks,

There is a pending update that will (hopefully) fix this issue. Stay tuned …
Appreciate this 404 problem may be fixed in a new update but I can’t wait. My site is not working properly and I know people can download the files ok but it doesn’t look too good.
I really like this plugin and don’t want to change but does anyone know of any others that are similar and don’t break as much?
Thanks.
I switched to: http://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/
Quite helpful replacement plugin.
Hope this helps.
I have the same issue, permalink set and update to %postname% but not working :-/ I will go out. May be to the WordPress Download Manager http://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/
Thanks
I’ve just released version 3.0 of the plugin that contains significant improvements to the download system. Please update, flush your permalinks, then let me know if anything else breaks.
I have the same problem with ver 3.0.1
flushing permalinks does not work.

Got the same issue, plugin not working on default permalink but in pretty permalink it works.
I had the same problem with 3.01
I think there is a conflict with WPML, as updating both caused the problem.
Reverted to 2.5.72 to fix the issue.
Incompatibilities with a premium plugin I do not own are not something I have time to fix. If this is a conflict with WPML, and downgrading works for you, then downgrade. Otherwise, please contact the support team at WPML where you are paying to support the plugin.
But I don’t use WPML and have the same problem.:
Using Standard Permalinks solves the problem! But of course I don’t want to use Standard Permalinks just because of one plugin.
Hope there is a solution coming soon!
