Thanks for the explanation.

I am having a lot of trouble downloading files that were uploaded with any of a number of document/file manager modules.  I suspect that there is an issue on how linkclick.aspx checks the permissions, but I don't know where to look for permissions or how to change them.  This is happening even if I am logged in as Host.

I cannot download any files using the filemanager or the links module, or the repository module.  It doesn't seem to matter how I set the permissions for a particular folder. 

I have granted view and edit permissions "all users" - but even  as the administrator I get an error when I try to download a file.  

In Firefox the correct file name appears in the download manager dialogue and the download looks like it is about to procede normally but errors out after a few minutes with a "cannot read the source file" message.  In Ie, an error page gets generated.  I have no problem uploading files and I have no problem with a direct link using HTML.
