Failed to download on line 339

[gamebits]

In my configuration, a "Failed to download" error is consistently returned on line 339, regardless of the feed. Examples below include two feeds confirmed as working in the documentation, as well as my own podcast, where I have more control over the feed for testing purposes:

$ ./podarchive.pl -ev https://atp.fm/rss ./test/
Downloading feed...Failed to download https://atp.fm/rss at ./podarchive.pl line 339.

$ ./podarchive.pl -ev https://www.unmade.fm/episodes?format=rss test
Downloading feed...Failed to download https://www.unmade.fm/episodes?format=rss at ./podarchive.pl line 339.

$ perl ./podarchive.pl https://www.polygamer.net/feed/podcast ./QL/
Downloading feed...Failed to download https://www.polygamer.net/feed/podcast at ./podarchive.pl line 339.

(A --dry-run returns the same error on line 345.)

One exception occurred with another feed from the documentation, though it ultimately failed on the same line:

$ ./podarchive.pl -ev http://www.hellointernet.fm/podcast?format=rss ./QL/

I'm running bash 3.2.57(1) and perl v5.16.0 on macOS 10.14.6.

That is very strange, because they all still work for me.

• Was this always broken or did it work at some point in the past?
• Is it possible for you to test a newer Perl version, e.g. 5.30?
• For debugging, please add $File::Fetch::DEBUG=1; after line 5. File::Fetch should then print the backend it is using (e.g. wget or curl) to the command line.

For reference, I am using Perl 5.34 on macOS 11.4, as well as Perl 5.32 on FreeBSD 13.

Hi! Thank you for the swift response. I've not previously been successful at using this tool, so this is not new behavior for me, unfortunately.

I've now used perlbrew to install perl v5.34.0, which then required I (re-)install XML::RSS::Parser and DateTime::Format::RSS.

Running the command now returns the same error — except this time, it's non-fatal: despite repeated instances of the error, the tool proceeds to download the MP3s. I've tested this with both https://atp.fm/rss and, as seen here, https://www.polygamer.net/feed/podcast:

et al. The designated destination folder does indeed have the expected RSS, MP3, and HTML files.

So that's an improvement! Perhaps there is an undocumented change or dependency from perl v5.16 to v5.34?

Here is that same command tested with $File::Fetch::DEBUG=1;:

[janprzy]

Great to hear that you found a workaround for now.

Looking at your output, it seems to sometimes use wget and sometimes curl, with only wget leading to error messages. May I ask how you installed wget and which version (wget -V) that is?

I am using wget 1.21.1 installed via homebrew.

[gamebits]

I don't recall when/how I installed wget. 🤔 Here's the version output:

$ wget -V
