Could you follow instructions at comment #9 in FreeBSD bugzilla? https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237083

[martindahlswe]

Thanks.
That fixed it, works like a charm now.

Maybe an idea to add a note (edit: with more details than the current note) about this to the README?

[wulf7]

I have added a deprecation notice with a link to the bugzilla comment.
BSD-licensed version of the downloader (see PR/237083 attachments) is on the way to be committed soon.
