"Your connection is not private" when downloading

Trying to download Saturn 2 and my browser is showing a "Your connection is not private" error, with the message "NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID", seems there's an issue with the https certificate on that page?

I get the error in Chrome and Safari.

Hi,

That's very strange! Just checked the certificate, and all seems to be okay (valid until 22 March 2022). So I really don't know how that can happen :-/

It’s a message from your browser that informs you that the connection is not secure. The most common cause of “Your connection is not private” is an incorrect date & time set on your PC. Chrome makes sure that your computer’s clock matches the clock in a Google server farm, and if it doesn’t, will block the connection to HTTPS sites for security reasons.

To fix your issue, set your computer’s clock to the correct current time.

Go to System Preferences
Choose Date & Time
Navigate to the Date & Time tab
Change the current time to the correct time (accurate to the nearest minute will do).

If it’s not your computer’s fault, it’s just a Chrome security feature. Chrome detects malicious activity going on with the site (like malware-laced ads, breach by hackers, etc.) and automatically warns you to protect you if it believes your security or safety might be at risk. If you want to override the warning, just hit Advanced -> Continue to site.
