Grants.gov opportunity synopsis page error application package download fails

Fixes Grants.gov opportunity pages where the synopsis loads but the application package download fails. Use when an opportunity number is valid and the synopsis is visible but the package or forms download errors, stalls, or returns an empty file. Not for a login failure that blocks the whole site.

Copy the opportunity number and the funding opportunity title from the synopsis exactly as shown.

Start a fresh search by that opportunity number instead of refreshing the open page, and open the synopsis from the new result.

Confirm you are signed in and that the workspace or apply entry point is available on the fresh page before starting the download.

Start the application package download and watch the browser download list rather than the page spinner.

Open the downloaded file and confirm the forms list and the opportunity number inside match the synopsis you started from.

If the download still fails on the fresh page, note the exact time and the opportunity number and try once more after signing out and back in.
