AS far as I can see, the SWFUpload solutions solves the issue for uploads. What about downloads - specifically using the FileReference.download() call? but what about downloading files?

Glad to see there's an easy solution, because I didn't feel like uninstalling FP10 and reinstalling FP9. Now I don't have to. Guess that was good timing on my part to wait to install FP10 until the last couple weeks, so I only recently noticed this problem. Of course Shaun was heckling me for being a late adopter for FP10... Thanks for the tip! s. We were literally just talking about this on Monday.

A good number of people realized this would be an issue, even in August well before the final version of FP10 was released, and as such Adobe could have proactively offered to help fix the problem. However, I still feel that post-release when us developers made an issue of it, Adobe team members such as Lee Brimelow did a decent job of stepping up to the plate and figuring out why no one at Adobe had worked with WordPress, Flickr or the like to solve the issue. And, from what I read, they have recognized it was/is an issue and have since been working to help solve it. Hopefully they learn from their mistake and don't let this happen again in the future. Either way, my post was more to help inform that there is a now solution, albeit one that should have been released ahead of time and is still buried in quite a few comments on WordPress's development blog.

The SWFUpload fix came out last week. So for more than 2 months, it was broken with no available fix other than switching to browser upload and uploading one file at a time, or going back to Flash 9.
