Troubleshooting

Errors occured while downloading

Sometime, server disconnects client, maybe, to prevent automate downloaders. The error message is something like

* Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
* Closing connection 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 142, in <module>
  File "main.py", line 138, in main
  File "main.py", line 89, in download_file
pycurl.error: (56, 'Recv failure: Connection reset by peer')

All we have to do is wait for sometime - for cooldown - and rerun the download command. The waiting time maybe a few seconds to few minutes.
