            I'm still having this issue with Atlassian Companion 2.1.0 (and Confluence 7.4.4 (IIS reverse proxy configuration)). When I try to edit attachments containing the '(' and ')' symbols in their filename, I get a "Download Failed, head back to Confluence to try again." error. CONFSERVER-57769 should probably be re-opened to address this.
