Installed the free version, works fine except: in IE8, after submitting password, the “To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. Click here for options…” bar appears.

However, when you click and say to allow the download, it doesn’t allow it, but just sends the user back to the previous page. If they are persistent enough to type and submit the password AGAIN, it will download it, but most won’t think to try it again. Thoughts? Thanks.

Hi, Another issue we have is that the password protected option doesn’t protect the file from being downloaded, since I can go to the source code and copy the link from there..take a look here:

(I tested in your demo website)
file to download under testSOI password 2222, then I go to the source code and

Download

Then I can copy that link to people anyway. What to avoid this?
