"selection" is when you select some text so as to copy it, eg.

Over to file handling, but the page worksforme (on Linux).

Sounds like a duplicate of the recent slew of download manager issues...

wfm with 1.4 and current nightly, with right-click and 'Save Link Target As'
with left-click after download my zip-utility PowerArchiver came up.

Have a look at Edit->Preferences->Navigator->HelperApplications
If you select File Types: application/zip, what do you see if you click on the
Edit button?

Hello.

I just downloaded the 1.5 nightly build and the download link now works fine. 
I'll stick to the latest releases from now.
