### Troublshooting
If you can't get |rclone copyurl| to work then here are some things you can try:
- |--disable-http2| rclone will use HTTP2 if available - try disabling it
- |--bind 0.0.0.0| rclone will use IPv6 if available - try disabling it
- |--bind ::0| to disable IPv4
- |--user agent curl| - some sites have whitelists for curl's user-agent - try that
- Make sure the site works with |curl| directly
