I get the same error on both windows and linux

[cbdelavenne]

Hey @stefanosstef

Are you specifying your friend url in the config file? I'll look into this. Either way, there's definitely room for improvement for error messages if anything!

[stefanosstef]

I did yes.Sorry for the late response, did you manage to replicate this?

[cbdelavenne]

I did yes.Sorry for the late response, did you manage to replicate this?

Not yet, haven't had time to work on improving this project. Feel free to propose any improvements via a Pull Request if you want to spend some time on it. Otherwise, I'll see when I can get to it.

[p8ron]

Any solution?

[neexal]
