title: Download links in HTML not working with exe
body: <p>Ok i have to set a download link for a file on my website. But it NEVER WORKS.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://sitename.tk/downloads/exe/filename.exe" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;button type="button"&gt;Download&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All that outputs is a blank page.</p>
  
  <p>I've also tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://sitename.tk/downloads/exe/filename.exe" download&gt;&lt;button type="button"&gt;Download&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>AND:
  <strong>When I tryed these last two it said file not found at www.sitename.tk/download/exe/filename.exe</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://sitename.tk/downloads/exe/filename.exe" download="filename.exe"&gt;&lt;button type="button"&gt;Download&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  
  &lt;a href="http://sitename.tk/downloads/exe/filename.exe" target="_blank" download="filename.exe"&gt;&lt;button type="button"&gt;Download&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can someone PLEASE help me. I've been programming html for years now and I can't get this one simple thing to work. Thank you in advance</p>
  
  <p><em>UPDATE</em>
  I've triedit with mp3 and mp4 file types and those work fine
  to do that I did this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="sitename.tk/downloads/mp3/song.mp3" download="mp3"&gt;&lt;button type="button"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://www.sitename.tk/downloads/exe/filename.exe" download="exe"&gt;&lt;button type="button"&gt;&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It does not work</p>
