Update on new Downloads feature

I seem to have a similar problem to you posting here recently. Everything works fine except for the combination of Downloads, Android client and LAN. Take away one of the three and there is no problem. I tried to describe it in more detail here: Android player (only) not being able to download (only) on local network (only)
I’ll see if I can work around it with a local DNS redirect, but it seems it would be better solved by finding the problem with Android and Plex. Maybe Google is doing some unorthodox DNS handling on the Android phones (but why does it only affect Plex Downloads?), or maybe Plex is using some unorthodox setup for handling network traffic (but why is it only in the Android client and only affecting Downloads?)
