Hello! When I try to download files through multidownload, it says something like "wrong protocol/internet not connected", even though im connected. Thanks in advance!

Same! It's hecka frustrating. Every download fails.

I get this error whether entering the url manually or using a QR code. I also know that it definitely is connected to the internet despite saying otherwise, because if you give it a link to a 404, you will get a 404 error.

I'm worried that this may be some sort of fundamental issue with the software that is a result of how old it is. It could be something along the lines of a server it always has to use no longer exists. I don't really know obviously and that specific example doesn't make much sense to me, but it would make sense that something similarly critical is no longer available. Seems like not many people are using it these days.

The error:
"Error 0xd8a0a03c
Wrong protocol/Internet not connected url that was entered "

Using it with a test URL (google()com\favicon()ico) allowed that to download just fine, but nothing else. What link are you trying to download?
Also the dev admitted that it was just kinda too old and gave up on it (GitHub issue #14)

Hey I'm the dev, the issue is not itself with md++ but with nintendo's ssl module which doesn't support tls 1.3 so most sites don't work. I had started porting it to use libcurl(which rest of the apps use), but gave up because I couldn't figure out why curl was much slower as compared to native http module. Wouldn't make sense downloading big files at 64kbps(that's the max speed I could achieve with curl whereas the native http module has a much higher speed) :(
Sorry for the issue, but ye, its broken and shouldn't be used.
