Download Spam Protection cannot be overridden to allow legitimate downloads
A user has reported the following issue with file downloads on 12.0.7 [on the forum](https://forum.torproject.net/t/download-bug-in-tor-browser-12-0-7/8043): > I’m on Linux, with Tor Browser 12.0.7 > > I’m trying to download (PDF) files from a site i’ve downloaded from many times before. > > - Get a yellow triangle on downloads icon. > - open it and it says “Downloads blocked from ” > - click Show more information > - says “ attempted to automatically download multiple files. The site could be broken or trying to store spam files on your device.” > > Options to “Allow Download” or “Remove Files” don’t seem to do anything or change the behavior. > > Each time I click a link to download a file from this site I get another message like this. (it worked the first time) At least [two other users on reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/146ge44/download_bug_in_tor_browser_1207/) have reported the same bug. However it's seemingly not an issue in 12.5a7 [according to the original reporter](https://forum.torproject.net/t/download-bug-in-tor-browser-12-0-7/8043).
