As of April 2024 it appears Microsoft Edge is problematic in blocking files for download. The easiest solution is to try another browser like Chrome or Firefox if you have the option. Alternatively you can unblock each file individually or you can add LeighSBDesigns to your "Trusted website" list to ensure you don't have the same issue again when you want to download your next purchase!
I researched instructions on how to add a website to your browser's safe site list and how to download and save a file that is blocked. Please note this info is provided as an FYI, I recommend you research how to do the following for your version of Microsoft Edge or browser choice.
How to add a website to your safe sites list in Microsoft Edge Windows 11:
- Access the website you want to add to the Edge trusted list
- Click the lock icon on the left side of the URL box and choose Permissions for this site
- Choose Allow from the Insecure content drop-down menu
- Restart Microsoft Edge to save the changes. You may need to wait a few minutest for things to take effect.

How to Unblocking Individual Files
Alternatively you can choose to unblock a file when using Microsoft Edge as follows:
After you clicked the blue download button on a file and got the message the file is blocked by Microsoft Edge you can hover over the name of the file with your cursor, right click on the 3 dots for more options and click on Keep then Keep anyway when prompted. The Download section should then have removed the words "blocked as unsafe" etc and you can download the file as normal.
Please note this info is provided as an FYI, I recommend you research how to unblock a file depending on your version of Microsoft Edge or browser.
