After updating to Sequoia my file downloading process in safari is broken.
it will initiate the process but it will not download any further. When you click on open finder message will say cannot move file
i tried to clear safari cache. Same problem.
when I use Microsoft edge it works fine.
so what setting changed in Safari to cause this
any insight?

This was my temporary solution for now
I deleted all the VPN Configurations Little Snitch and AdGuard Configurations in Network Settings. It fixed the problem
Will wait till the new updates/patches for the three items will show up and add them back in
Lucky I found this. Now I have a work round.
Apple still needs to fix it though - it's been frustrating me for months.
It is an unacceptable situation - and no statements from Apple as to awareness of the problem or a fix. Everyone affected should give feedback to Apple.
Somewhere back on this thread, someone included the link for feedback to apple--if you dive in, I bet you can find it--I used it to give feedback... whether it did any good at all...
does apple know about this?
It happened to me, too, when I upgraded to Sequoia.
I am now on Safari 18.3 and still having this issue in June 2025. Has anybody been able to resolve it? Would be great if Apple support could assist and resolve the issue by giving a useful answer..
Why does Safari not download files after Sequoia update?
