I noticed that private_upload has suddenly stopped working. I'm not exactly sure when, but I can access all files in the private folder now.

Public File Folder: 'files'
Private File Folder: 'files/private'
files/private exists and is writable. Great.
You have an .htaccess file in private folder. Great.
Very bad! Your private files are not private!
File download method is set to public. Great.
There are no old-style private files hanging around. Great.

I also have the Private Download module installed, but that has worked fine with this in the past.

Here is the current contents of the .htaccess file in the private folder

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /system/files/private
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L,R=301]

Any suggestions on what to do would be welcome!

Hey Paul, can you please share your solution? My file downloads through Webform just stopped working for no apparent reason. Private Upload module is no longer listed in modules on my site. Can you please let us know what you did to fix your issue with Private Uploads?
