Get a 404 error while trying to download a file.

Question

We are users from China and need to download some files. What does this mean?

Answer 1

404 is a protocol error and it's encountered when the file you are trying to download is missing from the location it was linked from. There could be a number of reasons the file does not exist in its original place: a new server, the name of the file changed, files were deleted, etc.
