Possible reasons:
The browser may be triggering a security behavior, causing the download to not start but it seems highly unlikely since the browser notifies the user. No notification was received in this case.

Alternate way to download the web client:
Copy the download link and use a command line tool. I tried downloading using cURL and wget. Both tools worked.

Windows client downloads through the browser normally.

I tried downloading through Firefox and it triggered a security behavior. The download was stopped and required user interaction to resume the download.




I suspect Chromium and Vivaldi do the same but fail to inform the user. Still not very sure since it should show up on the browser's download page.

Interesting. I'll take a look at changing the Linux download link to use the CDN. Thanks.

Pretty terrible that the browser would fail like that, and not provide any information to the user.
