Hi, thanks for your reply. Downloading games doesn't work in any browser (with extensions disabled). Images and other content load fine, but for some reason I can only download games through a VPN. There are no console errors in Chrome and the download button simply shows javascript:void(0) with no further events except the pop-up with "Thanks for downloading".

Have you tried using our app? https://itch.io/app it might give your more information.
For the browser, if you're comfortable with your browser's console, you can check the network tab after starting the download. A new entry will appear when the download should start, and if it's failing then you might be able to see an error message.
Alright I got the following error message (IP addresses redacted):

So I tried https://www.stackpath.com/highwinds/ using http://cloudharmony.com/speedtest-for-highwinds and there weren't any issues. Although going directly to the hwcdn page from the download does result in an "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET" error.
