This works fine if you install your DS site in a directory other than \Users{username}\My Documents\WebSites\sitename.dev. The problem is that EDD creates a very long (128 character) "package name" for where to download the update from the web site. This package name is is added to the already long file name and results in names longer than 255 characters.

Looking at the code, I can't see a way to alter the package name and shorten it to something more manageable. It doesn't store the token that is created. It's manufactured "on the fly" from the license expiration, license key, download id, download name, and download url - then base64 encodes it. This makes for a pretty long name.

I've submitted a support ticket with EDD.
