Downloading ZIP files

[bigspite]

I am having issues downloading ZIP files.

I am using another site to scrape Reddit with BAS to simplify the process. However, whenever BAS downloads the ZIP file containing the media I wish to download, it instead creates a .file file with a random name.

Here's an example:

This is how I have BAS set up to download the ZIP

Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorted it, simply needed to change the file extension to .zip.

Is there a way to do this automatically (change file extension or keep the correct extension)+ choose where the files get downloaded to?

Anybody got a solution to define the file download path?

This is done intentionally, for safety. You can rename the resulting file using the "Move File/Folder" action by moving the file to the same directory, but with a different name.

Do I have to move it to the same directory?

Is this why this doesn't work?

It doesn't matter

You need to specify the path to the file along with its name and extension
