Download button is opening a webpage with text of ISO.

When I press the download button, instead of allowing me to save the ISO file or IMG file, it is opening a webpage with garbled text, it is completely freezing the browser, I'm assuming it is the contents of the ISO file or IMG file.

To avoid this problem I have to right click on the download button and select something like save this file as to actually save the ISO file or IMG file.

In which context?

We need some more informations.

Which browser and version are you using? Which OS?

Please tell us what you select in the dropdowns:
- System architecture
- image type
- mirror

This is something I would at least expect when reporting a possible bug on a website.

Then someone can try to find it why your browser is doing that. I just tried some combinations and it works as expected, download starts.

I don't have this problem on other websites, including firewall download sites.

Can't reproduce that. Tried with latest Firefox on MacOS. It's not downloading an ISO or IMG. It's a bz2 file. Maybe your browser is not handling that correct.

I assumed it wasn't compressed, so I thought the file extension is ISO or IMG. How are you doing this? Are you right clicking on the download button and selecting save as or just left clicking on the download button?

I'm getting the same problem even now.

Just a normal left-click. Download starts with the correct filename to my download folder.
