Error after downloading 2 files

[queen4me]

I'm using Windows 10 with freshly installed Python/PiP. Every download starts but after downloading the first two files the download stops and the program ends with:

Thanks for your reply but how do I have to use your branch? I'm not github expert and just downloaded your code and was happy to get it running with Python on my windows system.

[rabin-io]

Clone my repo, and checkout the fix branch,

git clone https://github.com/rabin-io/acloud-dl.git
cd acloud-dl
git checkout fix-issue-103

or just download the branch directly https://github.com/rabin-io/acloud-dl/archive/refs/heads/fix-issue-103.zip
