Google

notDownload — Incorrect Download URL

The request was sent to a /download/* path but is not actually a media download request.

Riposte solution

You attempted a non-download request on a download URL. For example, calling a /download/ endpoint without actually downloading media. If using Riposte, ensure you're using the correct endpoint for the operation (Riposte abstracts away Google-specific URIs, so this likely indicates misuse of Google API outside of Riposte). Use the normal endpoint for non-download operations, and the /upload or proper download endpoints only when needed.
