After reading the discussion on SSL/No SSL conflict, this is what I did and it worked.

The link that I received in the email was an HTTP: I manually accessed it with HTTPS: and it worked.

email link \> Copy Link address \> Paste in the address bar (don’t press enter or the link will expire) \> change “HTTP” to https in the start \> Enter. the download should commence without an error now.
