I can't download files by command

Question

Download files with wget
&nbsp;
Hello gentlemen of the community.
I have a problem.I've been using "wget" since June 2021 to download a file and since then everything has been fine.But this morning the command does not respond and gives clues as to what may be happening.
&nbsp;
Below is the command I use and it was working:
wget -q --no-check-certificate https://www.dropbox.com/s/4mf0awazg0z0ols/TESTE.7z -O TESTE.7z
&nbsp;
It simply skips a line without any message.I thank you in advance for your support.Marcos

Hello Greg-DB,&nbsp;I checked the "Wget" documentation and there I found the command that validates this Dropbox update to support connections using TLS 1.2. that you spoke.&nbsp;Below is the command that resolves the connection:wget --secure-protocol=TLSv1_2&nbsp;Your help was extremely accurate and very important in solving my problem.This is a type of occurrence that demands a much finer abstraction, and finding the solution alone would be almost impossible.Your stance is compatible with empathy, but I think it has more to do with compassion, because it's putting yourself in the other's shoes and sharing a solution.&nbsp;Thank you so much Greg-DB and may God always do justice in your life.To its success for circulation in 2022.Marcos Paris from Brazil

Hi Marcos Paris, thanks for posting here today!
&nbsp;
In order to isolate this further, can you clarify if you’re having any type of issue when downloading your files normally from Dropbox, without using wget?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Let me know, and we’ll take it from there.

Hi Nancy,&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you for contacting me and I would like to know more about my problem.Download via browser using the link generated by dropbox. The answer is yes.&nbsp;https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kpb6e3fs5wmigw/DADOS.7z?dl=0&nbsp;The reason for using "wget" was to slow down user operations.I have a batch file or *.bat that makes everything automatic.1st download, unzip, move to the defined folder and finally delete the zipped file.And this is the command I used normally and since last Sunday it stopped.&nbsp;wget -q --no-check-certificate https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kpb6e3fs5wmigw/DADOS.7z -O DADOS.7Z&nbsp;Thanks for helping me,Marcos Paris

Marcos Paris To debug this, try running this with "-v" instead of "-q". That should enable more verbose output that should help identify the issue.
