Re: Re[2]: ESS downloads not working

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, I follow that rule, but since IBM insists on using that Download
(Mis)Director or HTTPS your odds of getting a corrupted file are very
high.  In this case we've been trying to get an uncorrupted file for three
days.

Now it won't work at all.
Rebooted system (which is a PITA to start with) to clear all cache/etc IBM
leaves behind
Run CC Cleaner to be sure all cookies etc are gone, again IBM ignores the
browser cookie restrictions so you need to manually clobber them.
Tried three different browsers, Chrome, Brave, and the older Explorer
(since Edge is just Chrome repackaged)   Nada, nutten, norway gonna work.

You'd think there would be a site where you could use sftp, or such but
nope, Not gonna happen.
