Comment:

 I can confirm the bug itself (local install of trunk without patches).

 What I believe happens is that every time a new file is generated, the old
 file is deleted.
 * On clicking "Email Data", a file is generated and a link to that file is
 sent to the user.
 * On clicking "Download Personal Data", that original file is replaced
 with a new file (with a different name).
 * When the user tries to download the first file, it does not exists
 anymore.

 If my thoughts are correct, then this is broken by design, as the direct
 download in the backend invalidates the link sent via email. Question is:
 Is this a bug, or a feature?
