Dear community,
To increase WAF I would like Kodi on Nvidia sheild TV to download a file using http and store it somewhere in profile directory of Kodi each time Kodi starts up.

I did google and search this forum and there seem to be many outdated or (what looks like to me somewhat complicated) solutions for this, like CinemaVision and Callbacks.
How can i make that happen the simplest way possible?
Whatever the solution is I greatly appropriate a simple how to, I'm pretty useless at this...
If you want something to run once when kodi starts check out https://kodi.wiki/view/Autoexec.py
Hey dude, that looks really useful! But, how could I use that to download the file?
Anyone have more info or maybe even an example?
