This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I am trying to create a custom post type with the slug "downloads" but I see a message that the word is already in use, or reserved. I have a custom Page with the slug downloads already.
Solution: You must rename the custom Page slug to something else before you can reuse the slug "downloads" for a custom post type. In this case, the site also uses WPML to translate posts. The downloads slug must be changed in all languages before it is possible to reuse the slug elsewhere.

Okay in my local tests, I was able to add a custom post type with the slug downloads after I edited the Downloads page and changed the slug in both Portuguese and English. The post IDs are 14041 and 15952:

Both slugs must be changed to allow the downloads slug to be reused. Please confirm if you are able to create the custom post type after renaming the slugs of both of these Pages.
