Here is an article about this problem which is occurring at websites all over the Internet:

https://9to5mac.com/2020/09/23/allow-downloads/

A few excerpts:

The problem is a rogue ad that has made it through to the Google ad network, which is used by a great many websites. If you do allow the download, it’s just a harmless text file, but it’s annoying to have to keep hitting Cancel to block it.


Fortunately, there’s a simple way to stop the alerts. In Safari, go to the Safari menu, select Preferences and then Downloads from the left-hand menu. Beneath the list of Allowed and Denied sites is an option: When visiting other websites. Just set this to Deny.


Note, there is a step missing here. After opening Preferences, click on "Websites" in the top row of icons. Then click on Downloads. There are some side effects to this so you may want to read the article for further information.

2 more times.

The common ad for both times was on the upper left side ' 30% off lenovo legion - lenovo.com - during Intel gamer days'

Bottom ad was different

I've been trying to capture one of these again and have not been getting it on DCUM. I have gotten it on other sites. I am still trying however.

I x it out and it disappears for a while, then it comes back. Happens on ESPN for the last two days. I’m afraid to x it out, but apparently just closing it does no harm.
