PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

Hi! I'm unfortunately quite a noob and haven't been able to solve this. I've tried running this command: coub.py --retries -1 --connections 1 -n --limit-num 2475 -m news#top But I keep getting the following error after a few downloads:

Before this I'd try choosing a directory for the downloads, but it would also fail: coub.py --retries -1 -p D:\Coubs\Politics -n --limit-num 2475 -m news#top

I've been partially successful with the first command, but now it keeps failing too after a few downloads.

Thanks for the help! RIP Coub

Does the problem still happen? Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce it.

Did you open one of the streams with a media player, before the program was finished?

Hi! The problem persists, I keep getting the same errors. I don't think there is anything running that would be trying to read the files while the program is running
