That's some bad advice. It doesn't matter if you're one of the most active modders. When the browser is throwing up security notices, one should take notice. Especially when that browser is Firefox or Chrome as both Mozilla and Google are pushing many wonderful changes out to help secure the web. While what you do may be fantastic (and it is), that doesn't mean that the site you're using to distribute your files can't be compromised or affecting your files. I would encourage you to use a different release site, or post sha256/512's of the files so that we can verify what we're getting from a third party matches what you uploaded.
Personally, when I hit a download site that has multiple download buttons (and only one actually gives you the desired file), I assume that it is out to get me. I think that what Chrome doesn't like is that it also kicks you off to an IP based site that doesn't match the cert it's offering. Firefox also complains, just in a different way that doesn't stop the download.
