By adding a condition on the where statement here you are making it so that you can NEVER create a listing where the download is expired or inactive. As I believe this is not the functionality you are looking for I am going to reject this commit.

What you should consider is adding a bool to the functions (ex: Download::findById($id,$includeexpired=false) ) and then add the where statement to the one that is already. You will also likely need to make changes to the admin section to show the expired or disabled downloads so that you can edit or delete them.
