That box icon is not what you clicked to download a file. That is what
happens when things go wrong, assuming you mean a three-coloured icon.
OE may have nothing to do with it.
If you are downloading a .pdf file, the name should be clearly shown
before the download starts.
Please supply an exact url and it can be checked out.
