The 500 error is cause by the rewrite: it rewrites /download/ (clean
url) to /download/ (actual file). If it use last flag, the /download/
location block will be searched again (and in fact it may return 403
instead of 500 if the rewritten url doesn't match the rewrite rule
anymore - it'll return 500 only on certain cases).

The one you want is for it to be handled by different location block
(\.php$) - hence last flag.
