Description:
Currently, we query for download type statuses when the download confirmation dialogue is opened. But because we cache these requests, there can be potential issues. e.g. User submits big download, sysadmins notice this and temporarily disables the download type to stop the IDS from being overloaded, User (who still has DG open) submits new download request. It might be sensible to set a cache time to 0 for the download type status requests. However, we should check with Chris (I have previously discussed this with Sabah as a user submitted a download to a disabled download type and we're unsure how it happened - this issue is something I suspect could have happened).
