thats creating a symbolic link from download directory (which has
no space left) to a directory that has 280 gig free in it.

No. That has created a link to /var/www/download in
/home/steve/public_html. ("ln -s" is counter intuitive, IMO. The arguments
always seem to need to be the other way round.)


did I do something incorrectly?

You forgot to ls -l /var/www/download to confirm the link was correctly
created. (You'd have seen it wasn't.)
