Me again! I am running code cloned from here this morning, so should still be relevant. Can't download 9/27/18 NYT puzzle:

$ xword-dl nyt -d 9/27/2018                                                                                      [15:48:34]

Thanks for the report! This one should be fixed too. Does this mean there haven't been issues on puzzles between 2018 and now?

(Incidentally, with these and the other ones you've reported, there's something weird enough going on that the .puz might not be a great solving experience. But it's at least mostly complete!)

Yep, 2017-now. They were all downloaded using xword-dl at some point! I'm working backward through my archive, only through 2017 so far :)
