I can't download files by command

Download files with wget

 

Hello gentlemen of the community.

I have a problem.
I've been using "wget" since June 2021 to download a file and since then everything has been fine.
But this morning the command does not respond and gives clues as to what may be happening.

 

Below is the command I use and it was working:

wget -q --no-check-certificate https://www.dropbox.com/s/4mf0awazg0z0ols/TESTE.7z -O TESTE.7z

 

It simply skips a line without any message.
I thank you in advance for your support.
Marcos

    Hi Marcos Paris, thanks for posting here today!

     

    In order to isolate this further, can you clarify if you’re having any type of issue when downloading your files normally from Dropbox, without using wget? 

     

    Let me know, and we’ll take it from there.

      Hi Nancy, 

       

      Thank you for contacting me and I would like to know more about my problem.

      Download via browser using the link generated by dropbox. The answer is yes.

      The reason for using "wget" was to slow down user operations.
      I have a batch file or *.bat that makes everything automatic.

      1st download, unzip, move to the defined folder and finally delete the zipped file.

      And this is the command I used normally and since last Sunday it stopped.

       

      wget -q --no-check-certificate https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kpb6e3fs5wmigw/DADOS.7z -O DADOS.7Z

       

      Thanks for helping me,
      Marcos Paris
