I wanted to download a .mp3 file from a youtube link but Cloudflare Turnstile blocked me for no reason i cleared the cookies but that did not work i guess its a ip address ban. and also when you get unblocked you get a 0 bytes .mp3 file

reproduction steps

  1. download the file as .mp3
  2. get blocked by cloudflare turnstile for no reason
  3. when you get unblocked you get a 0 bytes .mp3 file

I have the same problem!
In developer console I see that I get error 401 for many times when accessing to https://challenges.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/*. Tried to disable uBlock Lite, but it didn't help anyway.
My platform is SRWare Iron version 129.0.6550.0 (64 bit official build for Linux).

the issue with 0 bytes is not related to turnstile and can be tracked here: #992. turnstile only affects initial access, not downloading.

we unfortunately can't help you with turnstile taking a bit longer than you'd like it to, as we have no control over it. try doing what cobalt suggested you to do.
