    Hi

    thanks for a prompt response.

    actually I have just realized, that it happens only when I use DownThemAll! add-on. when I use a regular download link, then everything is fine. I've been using DownThemAll! for many years for almost any downloads that's why I didn't realize it immediately.

    I will send a bug report to the DownThemAll! developers too. I don't know where the problem is, but something goes wrong specifically between Dropbox and DownThemAll! (files from other websites downloaded with DownThemAll! are all good, so it's specific to Dropbox)

    thanks

Sorry that you are having issues, how are you downloading your files.  Usually, you can click on Download but it sounds like you are clicking on a link.  Please clarify for me and we will see if we can get to a solution

It sounds like the download is not fully done and it is stuck at last part of the download.  Have your rebooted and see if this helps?

      Thanks for sharing that info.  Who knows, others that use that downloader, might experience the same thing, so thanks for sharing what you have found... Hopefully, you would find a solution to use your favorite app.
