Can't download ugoira animations

Posted under Bugs & Features

Here's an example I grabbed off the front page: post #5972082

The URL I got for this page when clicking the thumbnail is: post #5972082

There is no longer any download button or link. There is only "View WebM". This link goes to post #5972082 ...which is the same URL I'm already on. It doesn't take me to a .webm file. Right-clicking the image and choosing "Save image as..." will only download a single still frame. So it seems that downloading the whole animation is impossible now, at least without jumping through hoops that 99% of the site's users won't know how to do.

Looks like a bug if you have it set to always show the original file. The "View WebM" button is supposed to unset the ?original=1 parameter which Danbooru uses to use the ugoira player instead of webm sample, but it's not applicable when you have originals enabled by default.
