ERROR Failed to download - Could not find part of the path, System Exception.

I've figured out the issue! The creator I was trying to download from has a space at the end of their name which tries to make it into the path when downloading. This obviously means that the download path is unable to be found since well... Windows doesn't support spaces at the end of a path!

i.e. blah/blah /blah isn't supported as a valid path and when folders or files with spaces at the end are made they automatically turn into spaceless versions.
(so a/b /c attempts to make a/b / which turns into a/b/ which then means that a/b /c is unable to be found)

I figured this out because this other patreon downloader [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/patreon-downloader/fmhpbbdpdhjkpbklloabkncldkmggaik] allows one to manually set the folder name. This automatic folder name (which usually is the patreon account you're downloading from) also had a space at the end of it. This implies to me that while the creator was setting their name that they accidentally left a space at the end.

However, highlighting their name in the page itself doesn't show this space at all? Further, this space isnt in the url either (because urls dont support spaces at all). I wonder why Patreon allowed their name to have a "hidden" space at the end at all, or how both tools (this and the other patreon downloader) is scraping this information whilst Patreon themselves are seemingly ignoring it (and therefore should've automatically removed it).

I am willing to share the patreon I was attempting to download from if needed (although I'd rather it be private).

Same issue.
I resolved this by adding "--download-directory c:\downloads" for download the file in a specific folder.
It's a workaround but it work.
