@rafaelfre it is possible that the website has a mechanism to prevent too many requests from a single IP or something.

One way to deal with this is to store your list of URLs and download the files individually and store them in a local location. With the new Transfer Files node you could just tell the system to skip files that are already there. You could then deal with the CSV files later.

An example how to make a list and the check if all items have been done is here:

> Not exactly sure what happened but again I have this modified solution to offer that would first download the files and later import them all into CSV and even collect them in a KNIME table in the end. If one download fails you could resume the download, that might be faster and more robust than to use the file reader directly. In the hub, there are all files contained from your example. As a side note, you might want to think about using the [relative KNIME paths](https://forum.knime.com/t/extract-rows-data-in-multiple-text-files-and-name-files-basis-a-row-cell-value/12556/8) like: knime://knim…
