Getting "Invalid file requested" when trying to Download the app

UPDATE!!! Seems now it's working. I installed it and everything is going well :)

This thread can be closed, unless someone is still experiencing issues.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to find an app to keep my itch io library organized, but when tried to download the latest version, I was redirected to an "Invalid file requested" blank page. I tried to download using many methods, but all of them lead to this page.

Step 1: Go to https://itch.io/app

Step 2: Click on "Start Download"

Step 3: Get redirected to the blank page (https://broth.itch.zone/install-itch/windows-amd64/LATEST/unpacked/default) with the "Invalid file requested".

Still, I managed to download the installer from github, and I get another error:

Error during warm-up

So, seems there is (at least in my case) no way to install the app.

Same problem here. Hopefully it's an intermittent outage, or something.
Edit: Seems to have cleared up. Wonder if we'll ever know what the story was behind the scenes?

Same problem

confirmed here too/

same thing for me but I also can’t download any new games on the app. It says something like missing token. I don’t know if it’s related but that’s happening to me too

Same issue here. I had it installed on my steamdeck a few days ago and reimaged it to start fresh, but now I can't download the installer at all. On the Steam Desktop, if that makes any difference for troubleshooting.

same here. had a different error in the app itself right before this and wanted to reinstall the app, but nope lol

Same... Still waiting for this to resolve.

Same problem here. Hope it gets fixed

I have the same issue! It's good to know I'm not the only one!! I've been so frustrated 😭

Seems like all is well again.
