Support
#1

Hi,
why do I get this error :
web exception /an exception occurred during a webclient request
while using command (=downloadmedia).

I am so appreciated for creating this wonderful Add-in.

Can you post the link to the file you're trying to download?

#4

Thanks for prompt response.

I am a bit confused now. The Error has changed to argument exception/ illegal characters in paths.
Thanks

I had no issues downloading the file. Have you tried resetting Global HTTP Settings?

#6

No, Could you explain how to reset?
Is it possible to send my excel file?

Works for me, perhaps it's not related to DownloadFile but rather your network blocking the requests. What happens with =HttpStatus for same URL?

#15

@fahad_khans this issue is releated to name of file you are trying to store try changing name.

Hi there - I've been getting similar issues, and when I try "=HttpStatus" it also shows the same webexception too many requests error. The funny thing is when I retry the same url again, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Any clue what's going on? Thanks in advance!

Sounds as if the server has throttling protection against scraping/too many requests. You can try this function after selecting the range with cell errors:
