Hi,
when trying to download from rapidgator the download fails with the following error message:

pycurl.version gives me this:

'PycURL/7.43.1 libcurl/7.58.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2n zlib/1.2.11 c-ares/1.14.0 libssh2/1.8.0'

OS is Win10, Python version 3.7.
Thank you very much for your time and support!

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #124 (RapidGatorNet), #3250 (Pycurl), #1926 (Error), #46 (RapidgatorNet - parse error), and #1279 (DepositFiles unknown SSL error).

No issues for me.
You have to use python 2.7 with pyload, not 3.7.

[FremdWelt]

Ah, I was afraid that would be the issue. Thank you!

I recently switched to Python 2.7 to get rid of the issues but unfortunately they persist. I also have the same issue with several other hosters, for example ddl.to. Please let me know which info you need.

Can you please try disabling IPv6 on your windows machine and see if that helps?

[FremdWelt]

Okay, I tried that and still got the same error. Here's what I did in detail:
deactivated ipv6 in the control menu and restarted. Tried again with rapidgator and ddl.to, no change. Activated ipv6 support in my router and then in the control menu and restarted. Tried again with ddl.to and got the same error.
Thank you for your patience!

Okay, after looking through the issues of other users this solved my problems for now: #3287 (comment)
