Hi, thanks a lot for the script!

Hi, could you tell me where I can find the downloaded file? Thank you!

I haven't used this for a while, but it looks like it goes in a folder named downloads in the current working directory.

You'll also need to change the if statement at the end if you want it to download anything at all.
