I'm having trouble downloading the video file When you put the download link to mp4 video from an external link, what happens is that instead of downloading the file the video runs on Chrome, Is there a solution to download the file directly instead of running it?  The site where the mp4 file is is not mine

  • the `download` attribute only works for assets on the same domain - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a ... possible solution would be a local handler to load the asset into a blob? – Offbeatmammal Oct 14 '19 at 01:12
