I don't see it at admin/settings/file-system (Administer->Site Configuration->File System). Am I looking in the right place?

Also, I had set downloads to Private when I first set the site up, but I kept the default location -- /sites/default/files. I'd like to switch the download back to Public, since this location isn't really private. Will this break any URLs?

Yes that is the right place. What do you see when you go tot that url?
AFAIK If you kept the default location it shouldn't cause any problems if you switch back to public.

Please post back your findings.

The page only shows the fields for 'File system path' and 'Temporary directory'. Attaching the corresponding html.

The disappearance of the Public/Private option selection most likely has to do with some aspect of the File Framework. I disabled all the modules that constitute the File Framework (in an attempt to eliminate the issue described here: http://drupal.org/node/346721). After I had done that, I noticed that the Public/Private selection reappeared on admin/settings/file-system.

I've reset my downloads to Public, and will report back if it breaks anything.

Made it a bug report for File Framework -- see comment #4.

File framework takes over the file handling from the drupal and it uses node access rules to control if a file should be served.
