There is a problem due to wrong enconding of file URLs in posts.

To reproduce the error, upload a file called sth. like "Communote 2.3.4.ipa" and try to download the file in Chromium.

The following link will be generated (but won't work):
https://MYSERVER/microblog/global/portal/files/62/Communote+2_3_4.ipa

If you change the link to %20 instead of +, it will work.
https://MYSERVER/microblog/global/portal/files/62/Communote%202_3_4.ipa

Yep the encoding is wrong but the link should actually still work, except you are using Communote behind an IIS. If that's the case you probably hit the double encoding issue. As a workaround you could allow double escaping in IIS for Communote.
