Downloading with http.request corrupts file

[NickRock]

If you mean io.open equivalent, I don't think so. There's nothing similar to io.open in the documentation

io.open's counterpart would be [wiki](File):open[/wiki].

That's good to know, thanks!

As suggested I've made it so the counter function appends the chunk to a 'file' variable.
When the thread is finished downloading, it returns that file and from there I can either load it up directly, or use love.filesystem.write to save it in my save directory.

Works perfect. Thanks for the help!
