If you are using Chrome and have problems downloading files: Possible solution

Edited by anniekins at 2021-3-3 14:22

This is a Chrome browser issue, here is 2 solutions:

1 - Keep in mind this fix is a bit dangerous, because it turns off all protection from dangerous site.


1. Open Chrome and click the three-dot menu at the top right of the window.

2. In the drop-down menu, choose "Settings."

3. On the Settings page, in the You and Google section, click "Privacy and security."

4. In the Privacy and Security section of the main page, click "Security."

5. In the Safe Browsing section, click "No protection (not recommended)" to turn the feature off.

6. Click "Turn off" in the pop-up to confirm you want to do this.

7. Download the file that was blocked.


2 - You can also first try this, for each file you download:
Hit CTRL+J and per downloaded file now you can indicate if you want to keep it anyway (or not..). It's just a workaround, but it's at least more safe than turning off protection.

Good luck!
