Hey, that “local error” usually pops up when the app can’t access the file properly on your system. It could be due to permission issues, antivirus blocking the download, or a corrupted cache. Try restarting the app, checking folder permissions, or clearing the cache to see if that helps. Also, make sure your firewall or antivirus isn’t interfering with the program. Sometimes reinstalling the client resolves persistent errors and lets downloads continue smoothly.
