Bullett M2 direct firmware download issue

I attempted to upgrade my Nanobridge M2's from 3.19.3.0 to 3.20.3.0 via selecting the latest firmware from the drop down on the admin page.  
However, I received an error:

Downloading firmware image...
Downloading
'http://downloads.arednmesh.org/firmware/ubnt/../aredn-3.20.3.0-ar71xx-ubnt_bull
et-m-sysupgrade.bin'
Connecting to 165.227.210.227:80
HTTP error 404
Firmware CANNOT be updated
firmware file is not valid
Failed to restart all services, please reboot this node.

Note the "..." in the url.  My choices in the dropdown were listed as:
aredn-3.18.3.0-ubnt_bullet-m-sysupgrade.bin
aredn-3.19.3.0-ubnt_bullet-m-sysupgrade.bin
../aredn-3.20.3.0-ar71xx-ubnt_bullet-m-sysupgrade.bin

I experimented with changing the download location on the advanced setting page from ​
http://downloads.arednmesh.org/firmware/ubnt
to
http://downloads.arednmesh.org/firmware/

I was then able to refresh the firmware dropdown and was presented with only one choice ​aredn-3.20.3.0-ar71xx-ubnt_bullet-m-sysupgrade.bin (no leading ../) which did work.  

Possibly of note, URL behind the link text in the error message contains an escaped carriage return character (if you use "copy link address" in chrome):
http://downloads.arednmesh.org/firmware/aredn-3.20.3.0-ar71xx-ubnt_bull%0Det-m-sysupgrade.bin

while the anchor text of the hyperlink in the error message wraps at the location of that character:
'http://downloads.arednmesh.org/firmware/ubnt/../aredn-3.20.3.0-ar71xx-ubnt_bull
et-m-sysupgrade.bin'

For comparison my HAP ac lite was able to direct download the latest firmware without issue.  It has the same download location (\ubnt) and had the leading ../ in the URL, but no problem.  Maybe a typo or stray character in somewhere?  

Edit: corrected dropdown options

To be honest, I did not even know that option exists - I had to go look at the Admin page of one of my nodes to see it...  However in my case, I have multiple nodes of each type to do, so it made more sense to download the files from the website onto my PC and then upload them to the nodes.  The other part is that the vast majority of the time, I am updating to a Nightly Build and that way you don't have a choice...

KD2EVR,  may take a day or two, but we'll take a look at the server side data file, and correct a bad character to see if we can get this download working.
