Unable to download from Firefox 63.0.3 and Chrome 70.0

[luzb3l]

Both browsers cancel the download automatically and mark it as dangerous.
Is there a way around this? Is this a known issue?

Woah, we've never heard about this before. Which platform are you using/trying to download?

[luzb3l]

It's Windows 10 Enterprise 64bits.

This is Firefox 63.0.3

This is Chrome 70.0

I specified in Firefox to "Allow the Download", and when I scanned it with Windows Defender, it gave me this:

Let me know if you need anything else to reproduce it.

Related to #181 and #140. I don't really know what to do about it that would give a reliable result.

Does the same thing happen for v0.8.0b6?

v0.8.0b7 is broken on Windows (see #248) so not much use in using that anyway.

Firefox complained at me for downloading b7 but seemed to download it anyway (as I found it in my downloads folder).

Just going to add this snapshot here.

Have you considered submitting it to vendors as a potential false positive? Especially if you get a known working build it may be a good idea.

[ErikBjare]

@greysondn Yes, it's discussed in #181. We encourage users to do so themselves as we (maintainers) would rather spend time on further development and don't really have the time. If someone can let us know of a way to submit false positives automatically, that would of course be considered.

[ErikBjare]

Closing, further discussion should go in #181.
