I'm getting a permission error when trying to download files #18

Open BlueNinja411 opened 4 years ago

BlueNinja411 commented 4 years ago

here's the code from mega import Mega

mega = Mega()

m = mega.login()

m.download_url('https://mega.co.nz/#!EBZCXCjZ!tCUNt4nempTV9PQi4Rq6RFuDIU8t_87gXdFxJmmqFKo')

The error is: "PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Local\Temp\megapy_gu4ff2ii'"

While I get the error, the file is downloaded for me. The file in my case is a few KBs however.

+1 In my case the file downloads but it's empty.

I had the same issue. It is because of Windows Security. What can I suggest you is run you IDE or CMD or Powershell as Administrator and try. (Untested)

Working Soltion (Tested): It's working fine with Linux. So, I used WSL2 on Windows 10 and run my programs. They are working fine.

Adding the code m.download(file, '/home/ubuntu/Downloads', 'File Name') would fix the problem if you ignore the errors! 1101

It's not working on my machine. I'm going to make an exception to handle it since the files are correctly downloaded. (At least files wirth a few kb of size)
