Well I'll try to help solve the problem cause I'm having the same results. Doesnt matter if i use the full url or the /file/file.jpg method i still cant download the file. It either says file unavailable or its a broken link. Just tell me what you want me to do.
Thanks,
Mark
Edit: Results of the tryit.php file.

Ok, the link works fine when i try it with a image, but when i try it with a PDF file and I have added that extention to the extention list. It wont work. Must have something to do with extentions that are added. I know i can download pdf from my board cause i have posted them in threads and they download fine.
