fetch_api_zip can't be downloaded securely...

Hello, I tried to download the project files for the "Working with the Fetch API" course, and my computer gives me a message saying "fetch_api_zip" can't be downloaded securely.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there something on my end causing this?

Thanks! Liz

I experience the same thing with that download link. Assuming you're using chrome, you can click the arrow next to the download and select keep to override Google's decision. Alternatively you can copy the link address of the download and paste it in to your address bar.

I'm assuming this is due to the page itself being HTTPS and the download link being HTTP. It would be nice if those links were updated.

Thanks, Cameron! My workaround was to make my own folders/files on my desktop and copy/paste in the starter code.
