Have the same problem here.
It happens when I try to download a folder with several files.

Download will succeed at the beginning for 3 or 4 files, then fail for the rest.
After failing for the first time, then it couldn't download any files, even for those once succeeded.
As it mentiond, it will recover after several hours, and I do succeed afterwards.

So, I think it has something to do with google's authentication method or anti-scraping mechanism.
The following methods may worth a try.

  1. use different cookies
  2. try to use a different host ip / net interface.

I try to bring up a discussion on how to change the host ip, but it seems like nobody have responded yet. #385
