This is still present in 23.08.5.  I haven't checked on 24.02.0 yet but I'm guessing it's still there.  If you download effects on Windows, they are not usable and most who are not familiar with windows will not be able to use them.

I just tested with 24.05.2, and it works well.
Comment 3 Adam Niescierowicz 2025-02-24 10:38:52 UTC
Wint 24.12.1 it is not working, efects are downloaded to the 
AppData\Local\kdenlive\effect-templates
not to correct location: 
AppData\Roaming\kdenlive\effects

fast correction of the problem is to use mklink /j effects effect-templates and copy paste to AppData\Roaming\kdenlive\
