Error while downloading #11

Open Henry-E opened 4 years ago

Henry-E commented 4 years ago

I was downloading from a couple of different twitter handles and got this error across all of them. Then I restarted the process, running them sequentially instead, and it came up with this. Does this mean that twitter has blocked me somehow? I restarted from a new IP address and it started working again.

To clarify, this is with twint=2.1.4 correct? This issue happened with more recent versions.
