Unable to save specific file via dropbox saver

I am trying to save Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 from this url (http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/4/5/D4510E81-0900-425F-85F3-A09AFFADFA45/vs2015.rc_com_enu.iso) to my dropbox, using this code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Saver</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="MY-APP-KEY"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/4/5/D4510E81-0900-425F-85F3-A09AFFADFA45/vs2015.rc_com_enu.iso" class="dropbox-saver">Click here to save.</a>
    </body>
</html>

running on a local server. But this always returns the warning sign.

I tried with another file on some different domain and it worked. Can somebody point me to what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks.

If you set up the Dropbox Saver using JavaScript, you can implement an error callback that will give you more information in cases of failures like this.

I just did that with your link, and when doing that (after a good bit of time) I also see it fail, with the error message:

Job timed out

So, unfortunately, it seems the hosting serving is serving too slowly and/or the file is too big, making the save job take longer than the Dropbox Saver will allow.
