I recently noticed users can't hit "D" to directly download a file while listing files. I can as the sysop just fine, but I just created a new dummy user to test, and could not.
Users can still add files to their batch download queue, and then do the download from the main menu, but are unable to do a single download directly from the file list.
Downloads are free on my system, and the user account has ample credits anyway, so I don't think that would be the issue.

Turns out I somehow gained a Download Requirement string of "LEVEL 90". I don't remember setting it this way myself, but who knows, I must have by mistake in my many recent changes. Oh well, it's working now.

Were they batching/downloading files from a different directory in that case? --

This is correct. I had my dummy user batch flag some files while listing them, and then was able to download them from the transfer menu. The user was still in the same directory at the menu at the time, however the LEVEL 90 download requirement was set for the entire Main library and not the individual directories, so would it matter?
If I can, I'll try to put things back in the state they were in so I can get you a list of recreatable steps.
Appreciate that. Everywhere that checks a directory's download requirements also checks the library's download requirements, but it's quite possible there's a bug somewhere since that feature is relatively new (added in v3.20). --

I set up a backup copy of my board on another PC, which was in the state I described earlier. Set up another dummy user with LEVEL 50 access, and my Main library had a LEVEL 90 download requirement.
Turns out, the stock file lister DID NOT allow the user to batch flag and download files.
However, the dummy user was able to use the Batch option within ddfilelister to flag files from the list, and THEN download them from the main transfer menu.
1. ddfilelister shouldn't allow the batch-queuing of files that a user doesn't have access to download
