Files downloaded with .txt extension instead of .rar
Just happened a few moments ago. I was downloading drivers from ASUS support page to fix a laptop. While downloading zip and rar files containing the needed drivers, two links with .rar extension where handled by AntDM as .txt files. Weird.
ASUS support page:
https://www.asus.com/Laptops/X540SA/HelpDesk_Download/
-Choose Windows 10 64-bit
Case 1
-Goto LAN section and download the first result by right-clicking the blue DOWNLOAD button to retrieve the link
-AntDM should catch it and offers to download
-See the filename in it, it has .txt extension
-Actually when downloaded it still has a .txt extension
Case 2
-Goto UTILITIES section and download the first result (ASUS Splendid Video Enhancement Technology) by right-clicking the blue DOWNLOAD button to retrieve the link
-AntDM should catch it and offers to download
-See the filename in it, it has .txt extension
-Actually when downloaded it still has a .txt extension
NOTE: The rest of files are downloaded correctly as .zip files and keep in mind this issue is reproducible indefinitely.

Hello
yes, effectively there is a problem , it is not a .RAR file that is downloaded, it is a text file that is downloaded instead.
.RAR is in the file types and the automatic download method does not work after clicking the button to download.
Thank you for reporting this problem.

Ah damn!
lol you're right they're .rar files, sorry thought they were .zip files as like the other ones. So I edited my first post accordingly, hehe.

I will transmit this problem to the developers.

AntDM has no bug.
The website sends a bad request for the download.
There is an incorrect site operation.
However, the development department has found a solution to solve these problems.
You can download the new unfinalized version.
