Download Tool Error "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found"

Hello,

 

I'm using the Download tool for web scraping. I'm trying to download only Excel files (.xlsx). Some are downloading fine, but some result in a "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" error. I attached the errors I'm seeing in Excel and Alteryx. Please note that I wasn't getting any errors with the files until I used the second download tool to download the files onto my Desktop, as shown by the highlights in my screenshot.

 

I tried downloading the files containing an error directly using the URL, and they downloaded without error. I attached the workflow file.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @dlimpert 

 

Unchecking the 'Encode URL Text' box seemed to the trick for me. It seems like it doesn't like the files that have spaces or special characters in the name when the box is checked.
