    Seems to work for me. I just took the defaults and downloaded. Is there are particular set of options that might be causing the issue? Have you tried a different browser?

    I tried just now with a very minimal load. DataTables for the styling framework, DataTables and Editor for the packages. Nothing else. I clicked Download, nothing happened; NPM, nothing happened; Yarn, nothing happened; Bower, nothing happened.

    CDN is not allowed.

    This is was it was doing yesterday although with a larger selection.

    I just did the same selections and was able to download. Sounds like something specific to your computer or site.

    Apparently IE 11 is insufficiently advanced to handle that page. I tried it with our brand new Firefox, (yuck) and I was able to see the buttons actually show the code being run.
    I was able to download YAAAY to my downloads folder. I selected both minify and concatenate. in addition to the datatables.css and datatables.js, I got a lot of folders each of which appears to contain the extension or package I requested. Is this correct?

    Good, sounds like it should be right. I use CDN myself so haven't delved into the download structure.

    BTW I tried to change the response on your question from not helpful to helpful but was not able to locate a means to do so.

    To all reading this, Kothorngren's reply was the fix.

    'Tis done now.

    Thanks for noting the issues with IE11 - I'll look into that!

    Regarding what files to include on your page from the download, the download page shows the HTML to use (i.e. what files to include).

    While I got you all here, is this datatables.js backwards compatible with tables built using prior versions of datatables using files like jquery.dataTables.min.js, jquery.dataTables.editable.js, jquery.dataTables.css, and jquery.dataTables_themeroller.css

    I was thinking about cleaning out all the unnecessary files out of my project, but did not want to do so it there was going to be a lot of breakage.

    jquery.dataTables.editable.js

    This one no. That was a third party file and never maintained as part of the project.

    jquery.dataTables_themeroller.css

    The new name for that file is dataTables.jqueryui.css.

    The others are backwards compatible, although checkout the 1.10 upgrade notes.
