This has been an issue, of and on, for a long time on this MBP using Safari.

No idea why…? There’s good internet connection here. and this is only happening with Discourse. [ something like 70% of all attempts to download users example files.]

What can be the issue here?

same in chrome

Chrome did managed to download a 20kb .gh…

  • and as mentioned in the initial post, some time Discourse does let me download in the normal way…
    AND it is only happening in Discourse, have not seen this issue anywhere else. either with Safari or with Chrome.
    ?

Seems like its has to be a security setting somewhere in your browser… Anyone else seeing this?
