"That didn't work for some reason"  error

I have received a link for a file sent to me through email and when I try to open it brings an error message "That didn't work for some reason"    What do I do to download the file?

    Contact the sender and ask them for a new link. If it continues, it could be something in the way the sender is creating the link, and they would need to reach out for assistance.

The error rather stems from the fact of the supplier of this pilk itself, here the only right solution remains to contact them. I have had this happen a number of times and it turned out to be the reason why something was not working for me.
