Extraction of the logs from the attached backtest:

The algorithm is only able to download the same file 100 times. After that, self.Download() returns an empty string. Why is that, and is there a way to increase that limit? More importantly, will I encounter the same issue in paper/live trading? I am continuously changing the file so I need to be able to download it an unlimited amount of times. The problem is definitely on QC's end and not Dropbox as I have no issues downloading it endless times from a custom script.
