dbxcli download issues ( Error: unexpected EOF ) about dbxcli HOT 10 OPEN

@dhanasekaran-anbalagan is the error with any files, or just this particular file? Specifically, can you try downloading smaller files and LMK if that works. Basically trying to isolate if this is an issue with very large files.

from dbxcli.

@diwakergupta thanks for the reply. smaller files ( less than 1GB ) we don't have an issue. The only issue with bigger file more the 2GB+

can you please guide me any workaround is there.

NOTE: One more info. the same file we are able to download via Python API

please let me know if you need more info

from dbxcli.

I got the same thing but with a smaller file (1,1 Mo) :

`root@pmx1:/home/dropbox/backup# ./dbx get "Operations/Tools/WinX32/7z920.exe" "Operations/Tools/WinX32/7z920.exe"

Error: unexpected end of JSON input`

from dbxcli.

@mikaelmantel this looks like a different error (unexpected EOF vs. end of JSON input). Do you mind sending me the version info (dbxcli version) and verbose output (dbxcli -v get ...)? Also make sure you are working with the latest release.

@dhanasekaran-anbalagan when you say you're able to download via the Python API, are you using the built-in helper utilities or have you written your own code using the API?

from dbxcli.

Yes, we are using built-in helper utilities, have attached example program.

@diwakergupta Oouupss, I did not see that the message was different.

This issue is still present (using version a871c88) when downloading large files. I have a 200 GB file which can reproduce this issue reliably. I can download 20 GB files, so the problem arises somewhere between these two sizes.

from dbxcli.

Are there any updates on this? This is happening to me now with a 164GiB file:

Downloading 50 GiB/164 GiB
Error: unexpected EOF

This is with the dbxcli command utility.

from dbxcli.

This is also happening to me with large files.
