Hi @VVRD_15,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. Have you tried checking the connection or verifying that nothing (security firewalls, proxy settings, etc.) is blocking the connection to the download server? Additionally, these timeouts can also occur when the files are too large.

 

I found another post where a user was getting a similar error while using the email tool. You can check out the response they received, which might also help you:
