Unable to download card images

Getting the following error after attempting to download any card image source. It goes through step 1 and step 2, but doesn't do step three and presents this in the log:

Anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it?

I'm having the same issue too.

It seem it's a known issue and it will be addressed in the next release "Soon".

Update your software, clear your cache, and check your internet connection. Try downloading a smaller set of photos.

Yep, I ran into this exact issue last week.
