When saving a webpage with assets, Chrome appends ".download" to all JS files

Reported by leo.koe...@gmail.com, Sep 25 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Save the a webpage
2. Review the _files folder
3. See all JS files duplicated

What is the expected behavior?
When I download the webpage, I expect all of its assets to be placed into the _files folder. That used to happen reliably, now my JS files are duplicated.

What went wrong?
Chrome used to not duplicate my JS files, now I have a copy of all my JS files with a ".download" extension, and the HTML head now references the duplicated ".download" JS file.

Did this work before? Yes Last Month

Chrome version: 53.0.2785.116  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

This is intentional. Files that can have very different security attributes depending on whether they are used over the network vs. opened from a local disk end up getting a .download extension appended to them.
