Download Tool Stoi Argument Error

Hi! I'm using the download tool to pull a report from a URL and received the following error- Error in writing: stoi argument out of range. I have ran this workflow many times successfully but all of a sudden I got this error.

 

The download tool has the url in the URL field and is set to output to a temporary file. The download was too large to output to a string. 

Headers and payload are all empty and HTTP Action is set to GET.

 

Does anybody know why I am getting this error and how to fix? Thanks!

Does your file size exceed 2147483647 bytes (max integer size in C) or 2.14 GB? Your error message makes it seem like something being converted to an integer (file size/bytes/etc) is too large. That would be root cause - not really sure of the workaround.

are you downloading to a string? try downloading to a blob and then outputting it and reading it back in.

Hi Altair,
I reduced the file to below 2gb and the Stoi error went away.
