• My customers are complaining it is failing to download – I’ve always had this problem from iPads/iPhones but recently upgraded from WordPress 3.9 to 4.2.3 and I seem to be getting many more complaints. They seem to complain that it starts to download and then says that the file is broken…

    So far I’ve heard people complain it fails to download from:

    iPhone
    iPad
    Kindle Fire
    and Mac

    but the links work fine on PC via Chrome browser. I was looking into what the response headers were and I get the following (Note this is from a working system):

    I’m curious if I should be seeing the following?
