Am I posting the file incorrectly or is this the required method for everyone to download the file?

I don't have access to the server-side metadata, so I can't be sure.
But when I tested Frostgrave, the file in my download directory looks like this:
Frostgrave2E.abdl=0
That's not correct. The expected file name is simply "Frostgrave2E.ab".
First, the "dl=" part is a query parameter, which means that it needs to follow a question mark ("?") in the URL. That seems to be missing.
Second, the "dl=" part should be set to "1" (download the file automatically) for the "Download URL", but it should be set to "0" for the "Goto URL".
Take a look at the most recent LOTR data files as an example.
Download URL: www.dropbox.com/s/<...>/LOTRSBG5.24.ab?dl=1
Goto URL: www.dropbox.com/s/<...>/LOTRSBG5.24.ab?dl=0
