Hi guys,

Hope you are all well !

I have often the following error when downloading with grab:

open file failure, got err bad content length

Any way to sort it out ?

Cheers, X

I'm also getting it when downloading some files that we already previously downloaded successfully (by Grab itself) and thus already exist.

This always fails if the tar.gz archive already exists:

grab.Get(path, "https://github.com/nginx/nginx/archive/release-1.18.0.tar.gz")

This always works even if the iso already exists:

grab.Get(path, "https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04.1/ubuntu-20.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso")

@cavaliercoder do you have any idea about what is going wrong with downloads from Github archives?

@cavaliercoder ,

Hope you are all well !

I am still facing the issue, any idea of a workaround for fixing that annoying issue ?

Thanks for any insights or inputs on that.

Cheers, Luc Michalski

As mentioned in https://github.com/cavaliergopher/grab/issues/71#issuecomment-756088099 this happens when the file to be downloaded already exists in the destination, for now I just remove the existing file
