There are many reasons and variables that come into play when downloading a file from the internet. If you are experiencing trouble, we ask that you first try these steps before submitting a help ticket:

- There could be some corrupted, cached data in your browser preventing you from gaining a clean session. We suggest closing all browser windows and tabs except for the one you are working in. Then clear out any old temporary stored cache, authenticated session, cookies, etc. from your browser. For instructions on how to do this go here: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache
