If the problem persists after trying CTRL-F5 as suggested in [1] you could try another thing:

when downloading the file you can copy the link and then add a dummy variable to the link so the browser thinks it is a different file like so:

• If I am on the page https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:VersionBug.fcstd
• I can right-click on the latest version and copy the following link: https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/images/c/c9/VersionBug.fcstd
• I can now modify the link by adding any variable to the end of the address like so: https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/images/c/c9/VersionBug.fcstd?a=true
• this would trick my browser into downloading the same file from a different address.

But if the problem only appears locally, why would you want to download the file you just uploaded?
