It did all of that correctly.

What I am saying though is that when Paypal returns the customer to the site after completing the sale (independent of the email confirmation) – it goes to the “Download Your Products” page but that page does not have any download links.

If I click on the Download link IN my website sale confirmation page – it goes to the “Download Your Products” page – but it DOES have the purchased products listed.

I will contact you separately as well.

Checking the Paypal IPN History – it shows the transaction as Sent, not Completed. Should my IPN notify URL be the download link instead of the instant link?

Yes, the sale is reported, and includes a Download link (which is correct)
The download page is intact (not trashed)

The link in the confirmation email was correct, but the link was not on the page that paypal returned me to after purchase automatically.
