#334 download failed

Hi,

I’m using Carrier on a Mac M2, and all file downloads fail with the error “Download failed”.

I’ve tried different file types, changed the download settings, and restarted the app, but nothing works.

Downloads work perfectly in Safari, so the issue seems specific to Carrier.

Is this a known bug? Is there a fix?

Thanks!

@Adrimowha787 - Thanks for the report, this should be fixed in 2.0.7. 🙂

Can you test it and report back?

Fixed in [#342], released in v2.0.7. Carrier only saved photos, videos and audio, so every other attachment (PDF, Office, text, ZIP) failed with "Download failed". Those types now download. Executables, installers, web pages and macro-capable Office files stay blocked. When Carrier isn't allowed to save to Downloads, it now says why, and on macOS it links to Files & Folders in System Settings.

Closing since the fix has shipped. If downloads still fail on v3.0.0, please reopen with the file type and what the error says.
