Unverified downloads blocked

Shields down, safe browsing off, but downloads are blocked with error "Unverified download blocked’. This is on Telegram.org. Is there a way to allow downloads files in Brave again. This seems like a recent change. Thanks.

It is also blocking the Brave download as unverified:
braveblock

Found the answer. To enable downloads again in Brave when turning off security doesn’t work:

brave://flags

Enable the flag - Override download danger level

That resolved the errors and was able to download files again.
