I have a button that is coded to dowload a .zip file on release.

My problem is that when it opens up the blank window, it gives that error message “FILE NOT FOUND” etc.

BUT…  
If you hit reload or put your cursor in the address and hit return, the file downloads no problem whatsoever.

Why is this?

And is there a fix? (It doesn’t look very nice)
