Upon performing an NCBI online BLAST search today [Wednesday, 15 November 2017], I found out that the formats provided for "Download" have changed. While JSON-formatted output may be convenient, I found the CSV output quite handy and use it in some scripts. Hence, finding out that the CSV-formatted output was missing in my case was annoying.
However, there is a workaround! Simply replace the
REPLACE-BY-YOUR-RIDpart the RID of your BLAST search and you should get again the CSV-formatted hit table!
