 * Hi. While trouble-shooting the broken download button in 1.8.10 I went to your
   page (see link) and you have the same issue!
 * Instead of downloading, the download button takes you to a new page/tab with 
   a player. This happens in Firefox and Safari (download does work in Chrome).
 * My problem behaves just like the first example on your page “param – > all features”.
 * I clicked and unclicked download options in settings to no avail. (although in
   one of those configurations I get an error saying that the file is missing — 
   it isn’t…since it had just played)
 * As a last resort, I went back to 1.8.6 and download button works.
 * Hopefully 1.8.6 doesn’t pose a security risk. —Does it?—
 * Thank you for your good work!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdownload-button-doesnt-work%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I am encountering the same issue. Everything was working beautifully until I 
   upgraded. After upgrading, I began receiving a message “The file [http://xxxxx.cloudfront.net/xxxs.mp3](http://xxxxx.cloudfront.net/xxxs.mp3)
   doesn’t exist; check the URL.” But it streams just fine. As dianeb suggests clicking
   on Use “default browser download capabilities” is a partial solution. But, when
   I downgraded to 1.8.6 & everything went back to being fine.
 * Is there a solution?

 * Got the same problem. While it’s being fixed, who can tell me where to get 1.8.6
   to reinstal?
