# PowerPress statistics-counter URLs are not using HTTPS

 * We have a couple of problems with the PowerPress “Download” links, for example
   on the given page URL.
 * The first problem is that the Download link links to the plain file and it’s 
   automatically played in a browser (Chrome), not downloaded. Not sure if this 
   is even fixable.
 * Another problem which should be fixable is that the Download link references 
   the MP3 file through HTTP instead of HTTPS, which prevents Chrome from downloading
   it when I right-click and do “Save Link As…” because of their forced “mixed content”
   policy. How can switch this to HTTPS?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpowerpress-statistics-counter-urls-are-not-using-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi ivoras,
 * The download linking opening a media player instead of downloading the file is
   normal behavior in most modern browsers.
 * You can try this to get the Blubrry stats redirect URL using https instead of
   just http:
    1.) Log in to your ​WordPress site 2.) Go to PowerPress >> Settings;
   click the Blubrry Hosting Settings link on the left 3.) In the Blubrry Services
   popup window, click Unlink Account; click OK in the dialog pop that comes up;
   close the Blubrry Services window 4.) Refresh your browser; click the Let’s Connect
   button on the left 5.) If prompted, log in to your Blubrry account; click the
   Authorize button and finish the process of re-linking the site
 * That should update the Blubrry stats redirect URL setting to be https.
