I've noticed something strange, was able to replicate it on the ys demo site as well

seems there is a strange download token issue regardless of what the concurrent download setting is set to

1. open a file download page
2. open a second file's download page in a new tab
3. go back to tab 1 and navigate through until you get to the 'download' or 'download / view now' (Don't click it though)
4. go to tab 2 and navigate through till you get to the same page as in step 3 (Don't click it though as well)
5. obviously there's a few tokens generated already, go back to tab 1 and click the download button now, it wont work and will generate a new token and you'll start the process again, if you go to tab 2 the same will happen

i used these files for the above test:

its almost as if it not dealing with multiple tokens simultaneously, im not sure if i'm completely out to lunch here but i noticed this on my site then was able to replicate it on fhscript.com, if it makes any difference im using chrome

i think this is an urgent issue as a user can easily do this, plus it would be hard to explain to a user that once they've clicked on the file they have to commit to downloading it, and since the page just refreshes with a new token they'll get confused and just assume the site doesn't work and close the tab altogether

thanks

Hi,

Yes this ones already logged for looking at on the next release. I wouldn't say it's an urgent issue but it certainly needs tidied up with better feedback on screen. It should be done in a few weeks.

Thanks,
Adam.
