I am having the same issue.
I swear, on the rare occasion I need to interact with Paizo's website it is always a completely miserable experience.
Same.
It's been like this since as far back as I can remember. I played Pathfinder prior to 2nd Edition and always had problems with the site. My group picked up 5E, so I haven't been here in awhile...but picked up the humble bundle and wanted to download the core rulebook, but can't get it to download.

The first thing to try is to click the link under the file you're trying to download. The one that says, "Having trouble downloading this file? Click here".
That reloads the file from the Paizo servers and re-watermarks it with your ID.
Sometimes that's all it takes. Other times you need to do the cache-clearing bit and/or the log out/log in bit.
And sometimes trying a different browser does the trick

I'm also having this issue, and I can't even see the link that says having trouble. I've cleared my cache, logged out and back in, and tried in both Edge and Firefox. Same issue regardless of what I try.

Just to make sure we're on the same page (literally):
At the top of this page is a menu called "My Account"
The second menu item is "Digital Content"
On the Digital Content page, all of your digital purchases are listed
The name of the file, the size of the file, and below that, a link that you have to click to generate a watermarked copy of the product file.
Click that, wait 60 seconds for your file to generate. You'll see a "Ready! Click again to download" link. Click that new link to download the file.
Just below that download link is another link "Problems downloading this file? Click here"

I am adding myself to this list. To those with suggestions, thank you, but I am an experienced user of the website and I tried all the suggestions before I came to this post.
Like others, I am unable to download digital assets.
It is a recent happening because I downloaded an adventure 3 or 4 days ago.
For the new folks, don't give up. Paizo will figure it out. Likely the skittergoblins found some alcohol and are sleeping of a hangout.

Not a new folk, but certainly a rare visitor as I simply don't need to download the digital assets very often. While I appreciate the upbeat attitude, Paizo's issues like this are a LONG term on-going failure.
So for the new folks, get used to it. Paizo's website is loudly and clearly telling all of us: "We hate you and don't ever plan to make this terrible site any better." Paizo is also telling its talented writers, editors and artists: "We hate you too and don't really care if paying customers are able to access your hard work."
I like the people at Paizo, but I will not alibi for them on this one. Year after year after year after year of this nonsense is inexcusable.

I tried clicking on the names of the products but nothing happens, no download.
Adding my name to the list - unable to download any items from the Humble Bundle purchase or any other purchases.
For example, I had also purchased the Starfinder Beginner Box hard copy and tacked on the PDF. The link shows up in my Digital Content list, but same issue - nothing happens when I click.
Wanted to mention that as it appears to be the entirety of the Digital Content page - not just the Humble Bundle items!

Journal Entry Day 2: We're hiding in a cave and have avoided detection so far. We have enough water for a week, but we are rationing our food supplies. The wizard continues to cast a variety of spells, but none appear to working in this environment. I fear we may never reach our destination.
Can anyone from Paizo provide an estimate as to when this issue is likely to be resolved?
Does anyone know if Paizo even reads these threads or if a ticket needs to be opened somewhere?

They do, but they typically are not working on weekends. It's only 7 AM on monday morning where most of Paizo works, so it may be a couple hours before they have someone on to take care of things.

I think its due to browser-related issues. Ensure that your browser allows pop-ups and has the necessary permissions for downloads. Try an alternative browser if the problem persists. Additionally, consider checking your internet connection and disabling any browser extensions that might interfere with downloads. If the problem persists, contact Paizo customer support for further assistance.

Still facing the same issue here, I have tried two browsers, clearing cookies and cache, incognito mode, verified pop up blocks etc. It never even gets to the 60 seconds while personalizing. It says I downloaded the file today now though so that's great, I guess? I even tied opening in new windows, new tabs, anything I could think of with no luck. And all this after having issues even getting the sign in page to work and having to clear cookies and caches there just to even see the digital content page.
Love Paizo in general, but think they may be in the running for worst website for User interface/navigation and execution in the industry.
