Indeed I have seen - but as a Block, repeating the filename twice will not be expected by most users when asked for the URL and filename........
I made another test from scratch using only the v4 extension. It downloads, but it cannot open the downloaded file.
Error No: 2101
Message
The file: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/appinventor.ai_chrisward2k2.test5/files /Fruit.txt could not be found
..... that would seem to be because "files" is inserted in the ASD Path but the file is downloaded directly to the ASD?

@Anke , can you compile this?

What is the build date of the V4 you used Tim? Also, can you download Fruit.txt from my website?

Extension says file exists, but I am unable to read it (guessing I have a file with 0 bytes ?) however, the image file I showed in my blocks has downloaded just fine, and displays OK
Do you mean 'Fruits.txt'? It is downloaded and it has content - it's 906 bytes.https://professorcad.co.uk/Files/Fruit.txt
That's from google drive, which seems to work without a path issue.

The file is not overwritten, when we download files and assign the same name they are saved as
This compiles correctly

Yes, that is known. Download only if the file does not exist (or remove the file beforehand).
, maybe the problem occurred when updating the extension.
