I removed my permissions on my downloads folder using chmod.

can anyone help restore back to default?

Thanks!

    If all you need is to restore read permissions, you could use symbolic rather than octal:

    chmod -R a+r $DIR

    If you don’t want to grant read permissions to everyone you can replace the a with whichever applies of ugo for user, group or other.
