---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for the confusion. When JS is disabled, you can't right click for a
different reason: the links take you to [an html
page|http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi] to select a mirror instead of
directly to the files. You'd be saving HTML and not the target file.
This would mean that your options are:
When JS is disabled:
* left-click, select mirror to download file
When JS is enabled:
* left-click to download file, or
* right-click to save-as
When JS is enabled, but google-analytics is blocked (or perhaps broken
temporarily):
* right-click to save-as
This leaves no consistent way to download that works for all three situations.
Left-click should work in all cases (though, I'm fine with its behavior being
slightly different in the JS disabled case).

> Key: ACCUMULO-3932
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3932
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: website
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Minor
> Time Spent: 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The links on the download page don't work with left-click if google analytics
> are blocked with a plugin (like Ghostery).
> Right clicking to download with "Save as..." does still work, but that won't
> work if scripts are blocked entirely. When scripts are blocked, the mirror
> selection is not done automatically, and the links take you to the mirror
> redirector page, and not the direct downloads. So, right-click won't work in
> that case, and left-click is pretty important.
> We could probably make our links a bit smarter, but I'm no JavaScript expert,
> so the fix is not immediately obvious to me.
