Trying to break the loop:

The above link works for me. I've tried it numerous times during this 
looping. Clicking the link pops up a security warning informing that the 
browser is going to enter "https mode". Do you get that pop-up?

When I accept the pop-up, I get a page containing a green rectangle 
"button". When I click it, I get another page in which I have to click 
download to go to the actual download page.

If this doesn't work for you there must be something wrong with your 
configuration.

HTH,
