[Twitter] 404 Error when trying to download SOME media tweets

[MarqFJA87]

For a while now, I keep having 404 Errors when I try to download SOME media tweets, but not others.

This one can be downloaded without issue, for example.

Below, however, is what I get when I try to download this one (rather NSFW). Strangely enough, my postprocessor for downloading a tweet's text into a .txt file works even when the program fails to download the media file.

Yes, I am using the latest version of both gallery-dl and yt-dlp.

I'd guess this is the same problem as in #4032.

Enabling forward-cookies while being logged in with gallery-dl seems to work.
