Hey - just another bit of info here.
Just got a report of this issue on a transfer that contains only a SINGLE large file. You can see the warning message still says "multiple files", so who knows what it's attempting to actually warn about, but it does seem to be triggered by a large file size alone.
The person downloading this file is on a commercial dual gigabit connection in midtown Manhattan, state of the art facility, specialized in large internet transfers, and definitely definitely no reason they would have trouble downloading.

Hey pk_nyc, sorry to jump in here, but could you ask them to clear their browser's cache or try another one?
Also, have they tried rebooting their computer and router at all since they got this message?
If it's not too much to ask, could you also clarify the app's extension? Is it perhaps an archive/zipped file or a package/container file?
