When Chrome forbids you from downloading something and starts displaying messages like Network failed, the chances are it’s blocking them, deliberately. This is a common error but quite easy to fix with the few workarounds.
Something, not clearly abiding by Google’s rigorous standards of safety and thus, flagged as inappropriate is acceptable but forcefully deciding for someone what is good and what not raises doubts about one’s practice. Here’s what you can try to get around the problem.
Enabling File Download in Security Settings. For this, press ‘Win+R‘ shortcut keys to open ‘Run‘ dialog box. Type ‘inetcpl.cpl‘ and hit enter.
When directed to ‘Internet Properties‘ dialog box, switch to ‘Security‘ tab, choose ‘Internet‘ in the zone, and then click on ‘Custom Level’.
Then, look for the ‘Downloads’ option and when found, check the ‘Enable‘ option.
