Ok, in my admin everything is fine. I have a green check under "found" and everything looks gravy….
the original download is here:
http://www.hoodgrownonline.com/online/meta-downloads/kSparks-Eclectic.zip
my download counter link is
http://www.hoodgrownonline.com/online/download-manager.php?id=1
clicking on it. nothing happens.. it eventually times out…
but clicking it on the link registers as a download on the counter….
I’m using a Mac and I’ve tried it in all browsers to no avail…
but that my OS shouldn’t even be an issue…..

I’m only guessing here but I should imagine with a 158MB download file you are probably running out of memory on the server to handle it.
if you are only dealing with zip files then the ‘Lite’ version may actually be better for you as that should try and send it in chunks. But even then you may need more memory.
As I say, it’s only a guess but I suspect a correct one.

for now i’m only using zips…
but I’ll be using other media as well which is why I installed the advance version.
Why can I download directly and not through the plugin?
Should I change the php.ini file?
What do you suggest?

You can download zips directly. Yours started to download for me which is how I found out the size. The only advantages the plguin has for files like zips is (a) to count them and (b) to disguise the files location.
The problem comes with files whose filetype would usually open in a browser. So - most browsers come with plugins for various video formats. Try and click on one of them and it will play it instead of download it.
To be honest I have no idea how you increase the amount of memory available to php. being hosted i don’t have that luxury!
I’m sorry ot hasn’t worked for you

Please try sforum-es_ES.zip -> works fine.
sforum-es_ES.zip  don’t work, the downloaded file is corrupted, also for .rar files…
The plugin works fine for .doc and .pdf
Any idea?

OFF TOPIC
To increase memory limit, just add:
ini_set("memory_limit","16M");
in the wp-config.php (just the first line of code).

Where did you get this from? It’s a new one on me…! Surely the host alone can allocate php memory?
Have you tried increasing the ’speed’ setting? Try a setting of 1024 or even 2048. You will probably need this quite big if the files are large…

Sure!
My server allows me only 12MB and many plugins (and programs) didn’t worked properly.
Some days ago, surfing the net, I’ve read a post that describes a very easy solution with the "ini_set" trick.
I tested it … works correct… and now the problems with memory size have disappeared.
Yes I did, (1024, 2048 and 4096) it doesn’t work even with small *.zip or *.rar files that I tried yesterday, these ones are downloading correctly with the size they are suposed to have, but when i try to open them, my PC says the file is damaged or corrupted, for avoiding doubts I used Winzip and Winrar, so i think it’s not a software problem, it’s related to the downloaded file.

I’m sorry to hear you are having these problems. I am using the plugin myself opf course with no ill-effect and have had success with (so far) up to 18MB video and/or MP3 files as well as PDF’s and, of course, Zips.
Sorry but I have no explanation for your problems.

I've got a strange problem:
I've got 3 WP blogs in the same server, and all of them have got the Download Counter plugin. In two of them works fine, but in one doesn't. I got a 404 error (file doesn't exist).
http://wpc.ouiea.net/plugins/download.manager.php?id=2 <- doesn't work
http://wpc.ouiea.net/plugins/downloads/DownloadCounter.zip <- work
Can someone help me?

I don't really follow either of the links you have provided here but let's talk through them.
The second you say works. This is set to a 'zip' file. I think you'll find then when a user clicks on a 'zip' file then it will download automatically. Default behaviour. So that's not really a very relevant test.
The first you say does not work. But as the documentation with the plugin clearly states, the file 'download-manager.php' is supposed to be located in the 'root' folder of the site, not the 'plugins' folder.
