Yep, i can confirm those bugs were fixed. Thanks for your work.

While i agree with your logic, your solution is a bit strange, you assume the
user actually wanted the content filter. Maybe it would be better to have
something like advanced mode showing if the content filter is turned on?
In the basic mode i think you are correct, it's better to show the warning, and
then allow direct download if the person chooses to do that.
