 * Same issue here. See below for more details. Thanks for any assistance!
 * I have been using Download Monitor for a long time. I don’t know if this is a
   new issue, or one that I never noticed before.
 * I can’t seem to find any similar threads that solve my problem, so I ask your
   help.
 * Today I uploaded a new file, which I only do occasionally, and I noticed that
   when I view the file in the browser (in this case it is a pdf file), the url 
   is not displayed as I expect although the correct file is shown.
 * WP and all plugins are up to date as of today.
 * The url form download monitor is : [http://www.site.com/downloads/filename.pdf](http://www.site.com/downloads/filename.pdf)
 * But in the browser, this shows as:
 * [http://www.site.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/filename.pdf](http://www.site.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/filename.pdf)
 * My expectation is that the browser would show it as:
 * [http://www.site.com/downloads/filename.pdf](http://www.site.com/downloads/filename.pdf)
 * My wordpress is in a subdirectory (public_html/wordpress)
 * My .htaccess in public_html is:
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / #RewriteRule ^downloads/([
   ^/]+)$ [http://www.site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=$1](http://www.site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=$1)[
   L]
 * RewriteRule ^downloads/([^/]+)$ /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/
   download.php?id=$1 [L]
 * </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * Any ideas of how to have the correct (or expected) url display in the browser?
 * Thanks everyone in advance!
