Chrome blocking downloads

Post by AmazingAndrex » Wed Mar 10, 2021 8:28 am

Good morning,

From a quick search, I'm not sure this has been reported. Chrome started blocking mixed-content downloads silently sometime in the last few versions.
Mixed Content: The site at 'https://www.animemusicvideos.org/' was loaded over a secure connection, but the file at 'http://gyopi.animemusicvideos.org/pancake/dl/...avi' was redirected through an insecure connection. This file should be served over HTTPS. This download has been blocked. See https://blog.chromium.org/2020/02/prote ... ecure.html for more details.
I believe the fix would be to get an SSL certificate for the subdomain gypoi.animemusicvideos.org, and serve downloads over HTTPS. :)

For a workaround, Chrome will tell you the file URL in the dev console (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+J). You can right click and save from there.

Apologies if this was known already. Thank you for the amazing resource, glad to have made my first donation this morning. :)

Thank you so much for your donation and informing us of this. We weren't aware of downloads being blocked till a few weeks ago, and that was coincidentally around the same time when the site was having connection issues. I had assumed that the download issue was a side effect of the connection issue not being fully resolved, and didn't realize that it was actually a chrome specific problem. Now that I know, I'll inform the appropriate people to look into the solution that you suggested :D
