This is only a guess, but, by any case, are you trying to access
domain.com/file.bla and not www.domain.com/file.bla?

because if yes, that's the problem. the server "rewrites" the address to
the real site name.

it is possible that some download controllers recognize the 302 code
("this page is not here, but there") - and some others doesn't - and
that's the problem you're encountering.
