I don’t know what’s going on. I had no problem on 10.12.4. So I guess it has to
do with a bug in 10.11. One possibility could be that 10.11 has a bug in app
transport security (i.e. preventing downloads with an insecure http address),
which is something that was added in 1.4.27 IIRC. Is there any log in the
Console related to this?
You may want to update from the website.
