Hi Folk,
I have just tried to download the latest build of AWM and the download button in the user area instead of doing what it should passes over to the download managers in Chrome and Firefox latest versions.

Dear Brent,
What do you mean exactly by “download managers”?
Is this not what you see?
In Chrome in my case it starts downloading immediately, as it always have done.
Did you by any chance install a download manager lately? If so, it is possible that anything you try to download will now pass through that.

Hi Kostas,
I have just rechecked and it is Internet Download Manager and Free Download Manager that pick up the following:
Please remember that in places like Africa, Southern Australia and New Zealand data packet loss is always an issue on DSL and 3G so we all use download managers that are capable of going back and retrieving lost data packets to ensure file integrity on downloads larger than 12MB.
Warm Regards

I understand, but this is not something that changed now, right?
Does this work though? Or are you getting an empty file? if it does not work, can you please send me what you download in an attachment?
Since you are trying to get the latest version, you can also get it from the default download page which does not have the extra security the User Area has (and is also faster):

Finally, if you *have* to use the User Area (in case your Update Plan is expired and you need to access an older version), I guess you can temporarily disable your download manager.
