Thank you for your feedback! This is a known issue that occurs intermittently and we're working on a fix. As a workaround, you can use the REST API to get the download_url to download the file manually.
See https://api.docs.video.wowza.com/index/current/tag/assets/#tag/assets/operation/showAsset for more information. The asset ID you'll use in the API request is found in the path of the asset detail page in the UI, as shown in this example: https://video.wowza.com/en/account_ID/manage/assets/asset_ID
