Nice timing, right after I finally post a major update 🤣

Since URLDownloadToFile is a popular function I've gone ahead and posted a quick update again just fixing this issue. I looked for other instances of A" ( to find other aliases like that but the other 5 were correct. If you find any I've missed, please open a new issue, and of course keep the bug reports of all kinds coming 🙂

This issue fixed in 8.0.403, now available. Thanks!
