I'm trying to make a downloader but when i do


if fs.exists("rn") then
  shell.run("rn")
else
  shell.run("pastebin get 8dUHPeS1 rn")
  shell.run("rn")
end

It says No such program

Does the error occur in the code you just posted or in the code of "rn"?
Can you please post the whole error message?

Use shell.run("pastebin","get","8dUHPeS1","rn"). Every parameter must be after a comma.
