@rayne the PKGBUILD clearly explains where to download the file and where to put it
Packages must not contain black magic or unknown/hard to understand commands as users are required to check the PKGBUILDs before installing/updating from AUR.
This is the only valid way to use AUR
Not downloading the source file seems like the worst possible change one could make to this package. The official blackmagic site has a "download without registration" button, why can the package not just do the same? Even if that is somehow not allowed (where does the website say that?), the package should at least provide some indication what is wrong instead of the arcane error message "Failure while downloading file".
Probably the worst change that has happened to this package in forever, it breaks all AUR helpers (even if you have the zip file downloaded and in your cwd). Did you receive a cease&desist from Blackmagic or why do you say automating away the “login” is not allowed? It’s probably going to be easier for me to just fork the pre-change pkgbuild and update the version number instead of going through this crap every time I need to install just a patch version.
Followed all the instructions to build this, downloading resolve and everything, and got a crash:

@Muflone
Correct, the convention is to require the user to download the source file and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD when it's not possible to download automatically, other packages like packettracer and some fonts packages do the same thing, due to license or any other reasons.
Everyone please stop here, the PKGBUILD will never fetch the source binary files from your downloads folders because it's simply broken and wrong.
There's nothing to argue about English or xdg-utils. The actual way is the correct approach for a PKGBUILD which needs a file downloaded separately.
I've removed the hack to get the file from the website and won't introduce any other hack to get the file in any way, until the upstream author will provide a stable direct url
English is the lingua franca of technology, used in programming languages, system defaults, and technical documentation. This is a fact, not prejudice.
I never debated this. Again, read my texts.
Assuming it as a default is a practical decision, not an exclusionary one.
Because you say so? Where is proof that insisting on an English name for the download folder will "benefit the largest number of users"?
Criticism is welcome, but resorting to victimization through unfounded accusations is counterproductive and unfair. In my view, such behavior should be discouraged, as it distracts from what really matters: improving the software and helping users.
Did you use ChatGPT to generate this? What "unfounded accusation"? I am usually very careful with my words and very persuasive in encouraging people to use words according to their meaning. Where did I call someone xenophobic? What are you talking about, goodness gracious? Return to my original text and read every word carefully. When I use words, I mean them EXACTLY as they are written.

IMPORTANT!
Since version 19.1.3-2 this package will not download automatically the source file from the upstream site.
To build this package you will need to manually download the file from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD.
This would reduce the mess in this package, making it more readable and clear. Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.
