I seriously doubt the ad-blocking message has anything to do with downloads not working
I see the same ad-blocking message on a gaming site i use
- I removed the ad blocker 1st time - it still appeared
Its use is 2 fold
- to help gain revenue to keep the site open
- to stop people using easylist in ad-blockers which is well known for breaking plugins
VEF has about 2-3 known plugins that it nobbles if used.
ad-block plus was Ok but ublock origin seems less of a problem
ADP uses far more resources than the rest
Popups / Unders can only do you damage if you have vulnerabilities
kaspersky security check - i use this peridocially
