This issue is more adequately elaborated on in this forum post.

The site and pager currently have issues when downloading library or game files if the files point to an https link. This... Sucks, and should ideally be fixed, but from my understanding fixing this is non-trivial. Operating under the presumption that https should be avoided in these links at all costs for the moment, the following is still problematic.

If you create a game listing (or edit an existing one) and are a BYOND Member, you have access to a Choose File button under Game -> Upload File. This allows you to specify a zip file as the source for what should be downloaded via pager or the site at a later time.

Using this Choose File button very helpfully uploads your zip file to your BYOND member storage, but it automatically points the download URL to https, causing issues when downloading.

Here are some reproduction steps to be 100% clear:

1. Edit game listing or library entry
2. Hit Choose File under the Game tab (or w/e it is for Library)
3. Specify a zip file for the source for your listing
4. Observe that the Download URL is set to https://www.byond.com/members/Spevacus/files/ Spevacus.{GAMENAMEHERE}.zip (as an example)
5. Attempt to download the file using the pager. Observe error.

The ask here is for this to default to http:// instead, is all.
