Hi @draak,

It is likely that something is getting added accidentally to the file when it is downloaded. I would suggest using a binary editor to compare the downloaded file against the original; look in particular at the start of the file to see if extra whitespace was added or something similar. If you’re able to identify a change in the file, it will help to identify what to look for in your installation.

Dear @asmecher

Hi

when I use google chrome I can download and the files open correctly with some errors. But I can not download via Safari due incomplete download. This problem is only for “In Review” articles. would you please help me?

Hi @draak,

How do the ends differ?

Dear @asmecher
The wrong files have more code!

Untitled%203

Hi @draak,

It looks like your source code has been modified (incorrectly) to add advertisements. If you’re not sure where the code has been modified, you’ll have to search it using a tool on the server such as “grep”.
