Error on download

[Tb3986]

Hello,
when i'm trying to download a OS, the script stop to works at all with this error:
Could not replicate https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/24/37/052-09398-A_DIKZGBNOM0/y4rz9dued01dtyl65nxqgd08wj2ar5cr6v/InstallAssistant.pkg: Command '['/usr/bin/curl', '-fL', '--create-dirs', '-o', './content/downloads/24/37/052-09398-A_DIKZGBNOM0/y4rz9dued01dtyl65nxqgd08wj2ar5cr6v/InstallAssistant.pkg', '-w', '%{http_code}', '--compressed', 'https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/24/37/052-09398-A_DIKZGBNOM0/y4rz9dued01dtyl65nxqgd08wj2ar5cr6v/InstallAssistant.pkg']' returned non-zero exit status 18.

I tried on 2 mac, same issue even with another OS like ventura ecc ecc.

Thanks

This is almost certainly a local issue. Something is interrupting the transfer of "InstallAssistant.pkg", which is a very very large file. You may be able to replicate it outside of this tool with curl (and the error message shows you how):

/usr/bin/curl -fL --create-dirs \
-o './content/downloads/24/37/052-09398-A_DIKZGBNOM0/y4rz9dued01dtyl65nxqgd08wj2ar5cr6v/InstallAssistant.pkg' \
-w '%{http_code}' --compressed \
'https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/24/37/052-09398-A_DIKZGBNOM0/y4rz9dued01dtyl65nxqgd08wj2ar5cr6v/InstallAssistant.pkg'

I think this is a bigger issue than I first thought, but I still don't think it's has anything to do with the code in installinstallmacos.py.

I tried the above curl download command seven times in a row. The fourth attempt was successful, the other six timed out with various amounts left to read. This feels like an Apple change or Apple issue.
