No Save option
The code itself is fine, I can compile it and check it on PuTTY. However, the "save" and "save all" is greyed out and not possible to use. Things I have tried: 1) Changing Chrome setting to ask where to download files 2) Export the program manually using ZIP archive, which resulted in "Download Error"

Save is greyed out if there are no changes to save. If you change the code the option should light up.
Clicking on compile automatically does a save all so normally your changes get saved without having to explicitly click the save button. Files are saved to the online system not to your computer.
Once you program is working you should also click on commit, this will save the current code into the version control system. That gives you an easy way to view or back out any changes made after that point if you break something.
To save to your local computer you can either export the project (but that includes all the mbed libraries and can be a little flaky as you've discovered) or if you only want your own code go for the simple approach, press ctrl-a, ctrl-c to copy the file to the clipboard and paste the contents of the file into a text editor on your local machine.
