Apologies for completely forgetting about it, and thank you for reminding in the other thread.
I have fixed the most important issues:
1. The author-provided https links using wincmd.ru domain should now work. It was a strange consequence of some network configuration; size detection worked fine with totalcmd.net links even with https, but not wincmd.ru.
2. Fixed the "back" link.
About the rest of your report: I still don't want to force all the users onto HTTPS, if no secret or personal data exchange is involved. Some people can use an old OS or browser version which have problems with modern certificates, so they cannot download by an HTTPS-only link. Therefore I prefer the approach when the download links use the same protocol as what the page was loaded with. However, the admin panel is not designed for such versatility. That's why I settled for using HTTP links as base, and converting them into HTTPS automatically when needed. I admit there are some disadvantages to that, and the approach is not the most intuitive for the authors, but at the moment I don't see a better solution, which would be easy enough to implement.
