I went through quite the adventure trying to change my 'download method' to private from public, the settings disappeared from my admin/setttings/file-system page.
After 'disabling' ALL of my file related modules and clearing my cache, my settings for download method returned. Upon enabling each of my modules one at a time, I find that the Bitcache 6.x-1.0-alpha2 removed the radio check boxes from my admin/settings/file-system page.
Hope this helps some other lost soul that has found their settings have been removed.
**The shortcut to simply change the download method to private is to change the variable for file_download the 1 setting is for public, and the 0 setting is for the private download method.

Ok, so after a little more research I did learn that the bitcache 6.x-1.0-alpha2 and the file framework 6.x-1.x-dev BOTH had to be disabled in order to reset my my admin/settings/file-system 'download method' radio buttons for 'private' and 'public' download methods.

I disabled and removed the bitcache alpha2 and then reinstalled bitcache alpha3. My problem has not gone away, again, the settings for 'private' and 'public' 'download methods' have disappeared again.
There is a list of my modules from my module update page as well as the status report from my site on the original forum posting. I am done for now, really, since I have figured out how to change the variable myself, and since this is a 'one time' setting I am just going to move on.

After rebuilding all three of my sites files and databases, because I was having difficulty tracking down a separate issue with 'bitcache alpa3', I have come to the conclusion that the removal of the 'download method' settings from the admin/settings/file-system page is likely an issue that is 'by design'.
Besides, really unless you made the descision to make your download method 'public' upon initial set up of drupal and now need it to be private, well, who cares it is normally a one time setting and it does come with it's own warnings about the impact upon your site.
So, I'm closing this issue, myself.
