I tried downloading from the link provided and it started downloading the file for me.

Thanks for pointing that out. It works for me too. I just happened to select a different instance where it actually works. Here’s the instance where it’s broken:

Still downloading the file for me.

Edit: Tried it in chromium out of curiousity and I was able to reproduce your issue. Not sure why it works normally in firefox.

ciferecaNinjo OP ,

Ungoogled Chromium indeed reproduces the issue. But so does the public library, which likely was Firefox in Windows. So i guess it might be hasty to conclude that it’s browser specific, particularly when other videos on the same instance behave differently in the same browser.

Try right clicking and "save as"? On mobile Safari it pops up with view and download as options.

ciferecaNinjo OP ,

That’s is how I got around it in the past. For some reason that was not an option where I needed it (perhaps the browser I was using was locked down in some way). In any case, I’m wondering why the variation in behavior. Is this a bug in Invidious?
