– order confirmation page loads, click the “download your purchase” link
– select the audio format, look for download button…

– look for download button… 🤔
– look for download button… 😕
– look for download button… 😤

– “hmm, maybe one of my malvertising blocker extensions has hidden it…
– disable uBlock Origin, reload page…
– 🙅‍♀️
– disable Privacy Badger, reload page…

– hmm… 😡

– “OK, I guess I’ve eliminated all the obvious things, let’s see what that help doc says…” 👀

– click the helpful “Download Trouble” link next to the file format picker to read the help doc… 🔗 🖱️ ✅

– file save dialog opens…
– wait, WHAT???!?!? 🤔
– FILE SAVE DIALOG IS OPEN 😠😡🤬
