Hello everyone,

First I would like to thank all of the contributors, who spend their precious time resolving the issues of beginners like me. Wouldn't it have been for them, I would have been stuck at so many basic things.

Jumping to the topic, I was trying to download a CSV file from my computer, and I found this flow to be really useful:  
[https://flows.nodered.org/flow/db68bd4934cf46f39e6e453a348bc419](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/db68bd4934cf46f39e6e453a348bc419)

Everything works fine, but as soon as I download something, the dashboard becomes irresponsive for a few seconds, and a message is displayed at the top right corner, "connection lost", and after a few seconds, it refreshes. I don't know if this is normal, but even if it is, I don't think that would give a pleasant experience to the users. I would really appreciate your support in this regard. Many thanks.

Node-RED Version: v3.0.2  
Node.JS Version: v18.12.1
