Why does a downloaded zip file using requests end up corrupted? Trying to make a program that starts a download a specified time.
Code:
import requests
import time
import datetime
tim = datetime.datetime.now()
print("########So Far Only Works With mp4, png, jpg, pkg and exe files########")
time.sleep(1)
DLTime = input("Time\nHH:MM\n")
url = input("URL:\n")
Location = ("/Users/jenniferprince/Downloads/" + input("File Name\n"))
print("Waiting...")
while(True):
tim = datetime.datetime.now()
if tim.strftime("%H:%M") == DLTime:
print("Download Started")
myfile = requests.get(url)
open(Location, 'wb').write(myfile.content)
print("\nDownload Finished")
input("Press Enter To Finish")
exit()
time.sleep(1)
Note: Had to use tim not time due to interference with other parts of code.
