Unable to download card images

[Pinjidarxi]

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

I'm having the same issue too.

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

From what I’ve gathered, this issue often stems from a corrupted or improperly formatted bulk data file from Scryfall, or a mismatch in how the client (like XMage) is processing it.

It seems that the error “Can't read bulk file (possible reason: broken format)” appears because the downloaded data file is corrupted or not in the correct format, you should try clearing the cache or temporary data of the application and download again from the beginning; if it still doesn't work, check the software version and make sure you are using the correct data source, or look for the latest update or patch.

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.
