The url passed into FileTransfer.download is decoded, which results in a 404 error. The user is expected to encode this themselves before passing it in the download function (as specified in the docs).

Expected:
For a FileTransfer.download, the URL should not be decoded. An encoded url passed in, should be able to be navigated to.

Actual:
For a FileTransfer.download, the URL is decoded, resulting in a 404 not found error.
