I´ve added a folder inside my drupalsite named "download".
I´ve added files there and inside certain nodes I add a link manually to http://www.mysite.com/download/file.zip
It appears a Not Found page!!

(Naturally, I´ve checked the folder and file´s existance...)

So, I´ve another site (non drupal yet), and I´ve made the same thing, creating the folder THERE and adding inside it the files.
The same thing happens!!

Drupal seems not to accept files uploaded without using any drupal module... or maybe I´m doing something wrong here??
I don´t think that Drupal will not let me add any link wherever I want!

What can I do about this?

Thanks in advance!!!

You may want to visit #drupal-support on irc.freenode.net if you require 'instant' answers. This of course depends on the people present on the channel.

There's no good reason for what you describe.
You sure it's not just a typo or something?
You would have seen a difference between the Drupal 'not found' page and a non-drupal 404 at least.
I think you're missing something really simple.
Try linking directly to a drupal resource file like http://localhost/misc/druplicon.png and work from there.

... knew about the IRC channel.

I´ve double check all files... I know it doesn´t make sense, but has someone tried this before?

Now, You´re right. The druplicon does appear, but the othr files does not.

Could this issue be related to that it is a "zip" file?

Unless you've done something really strange with your apache config, the file type wouldn't give you a 404.

See your apache server logs to find out if what you think you were asking for is the same as what the server thinks you want.
Or it could be an alias set somewhere, or even the mysterious 

# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
<Files ~ "(\.(inc|module|pl|sh|sql|theme|engine|xtmpl)|Entries|Repositories|Root|scripts|updates)$">
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
</Files>

block in .htaccess.

I found once that that was denying me access to a folder that just happened to be called 'webroot' (access to any folder called 'root' was being denied)

I STILL suspect a simple typo however.
