So this will not get fixed?

What is a good alternative for this package?

It doesn't look like it will get fixed. As things are now, this package has basicially been unmaintained for almost three years. :(

What is a good alternative for this package?

I saw other projects where this package was replaced by node-downloader-helper, but I do not know how good that alternative is.

@sindresorhus If I'm not mistaken, you merged the Bugfix in got in sindresorhus/got#2047 which is awesome. download is a quite often used library (~3 million installs a week) that still relies on the older version of got. Since you EDIT: do might have write access to https://github.com/kevva/download could you upgrade got in download as well? That would be really great!

It would be great indeed. :)

However, sindresorhus does not have write access to this repository anymore, according to a comment he made on another issue. So he cannot upgrade got in download.

@wbt Hi Buddy,
Temporary solution for ur problem is
Go to ur package-lock.json file ("node_modules/download") and update ur ("got" module) version manually to 11.8.5 or 11.8.3 then Install NPM again.
Same i did like as below code.
It temporary fixed my problem
