SaveUrlAsync not downloading all requested files

Hi,      I'm updating an app I first worked on a couple of years ago. At that time I used SaveUrlAsync and it just worked. Well, I THINK it just worked - perhaps it was missing files and I hadn't...

Hi Greg,

 

   I've not changed any code at all since I was last working on this (was about to resume working on it), and now nothing at all is downloading - are you aware of any server issues with SaveFromURLAsync? Everything else is working (e.g. WriteFileAsync). There was some maintenance done just over 2 hours ago, which may be related.

   The only change from before is I've updated Visual Studio today, which shouldn't affect it (in fact the reason I found SaveFromURLAsync wasn't working anymore was when I was testing out Visual Studio post-update). I even re-cloned from my last commit, when everything 100% was working, and same thing - nothing getting downloaded at all. Not on the Dropbox server either.

I already tagged Dropbox Support on Twitter, but thought I'd check in here too (I'm not sure what the preferred channel is when there's a suspected server issue - I figured Twitter would probably get noticed faster).

 

P.S. it's failing silently - no exceptions or any other sort of error message, just no files at all.

 

P.P.S. I just tried downloading from a completely different website to rule that out, and again nothing downloaded, so it's not the source website either.

 

thanks,

  Donald.

Hi Donald, hopping on the thread here.

 

We did have some hiccups last night with the file saving system, and it's been resolved. Could you try again and let us know how it goes? Thanks!
