      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello, recently, I've noticed that I can no longer use &lt;FONT face="andale mono,times" color="#008000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;wget&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;with the &lt;FONT face="andale mono,times" color="#FF0000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#008000"&gt;--spider&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;flag to download dropbox files. This has been working for the past couple of years for me, but seems to no longer work. If I remove the&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT face="andale mono,times" color="#008000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;--spider&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;flag, I'm able to download the file. Here are the commands I'm running in terminal to test.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Worked previously, but now breaks:&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="andale mono,times" color="#008000"&gt;wget &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwguigqasfct9um/foobar.jpg\" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwguigqasfct9um/bp14-f-24x36-b.jpg\&lt;/A&gt;?dl\=1 --spider&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;The error I get:&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="andale mono,times" color="#008000"&gt;Remote file does not exist -- broken link!!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Works currently&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="andale mono,times" color="#008000"&gt;wget &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwguigqasfct9um/foobar.jpg\" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwguigqasfct9um/bp14-f-24x36-b.jpg\&lt;/A&gt;?dl\=1&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone else having the same issue?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It seems that I am getting inconsistent results, if I run the command multiple times in a row, sometimes it will say "Remote file exists" and other times it will say "Remote file does not exist -- broken link!!!". Checked with a colleague who is running a different environment, and getting the same results. Not sure if something changed with the API or not. In addition, I see an error that says:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed&lt;/P&gt;</description>
