When I download files, the file will be empty, and there will also be a file with the extension of .part that contains the actual file. Sometimes it will have the same name and other times it will have a string of letters and numbers for the file name. I do a rename to get rid of the .part file and I delete the bad, empty file. It's a pain to have to do all that.

The only restrictions were to disable the dictation and to hide the profanity. I unchecked those and tried it again. Same problem.
