Description

I was trying to download the MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test Database.
And so I chose to export the signal as a .mat file but then after I click the .mat file of the signal under the "Download these files:" instead of downloading the file a bunch of jumbled letters would show. (I've attached a photo of it below.)
I also tried downloading other database, but yeah same thing happens. (Though I can pretty much download the .info and open the .m dunno what's the problem with .mat and .hea)
I've tried refreshing the page and all but still I get the same result. I was hoping if you guyz can help me. I badly need these sample signals to use in Siimulink.

Research direction

Reproduce the download from the PhysioNet interface for the .mat and .hea files named in the report, comparing the browser response with the expected file. Inspect the download entry point and verify that these files are returned as downloads rather than rendered text; done when both formats download and remain usable.
