Describe the bug
Running the latest slackdump release on Windows 11, I'm getting an error saving file, slack server error: 403 Forbidden, it thinks the url_filename has two periods before the extension. Manually visiting that URL does fail; visiting that URL with only one period in the filename works, e.g.:

2026-01-30 23:34:33 ERROR error saving file
                      ├ url_filename: 1923876048375_d4a81c21a7407c0XXXXX_original..jpg
                      ├ destination: __avatars\U01A19XXXXX\1923876048375_d4a81c21a7407c0XXXXX_original..jpg
                      └ error: callback error: download to "__avatars\\U01A19XXXXX\\1923876048375_d4a81c21a7407c0XXXXX_original..jpg" failed, [src=https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2021-04-07/1923876048375_d4a81c21a7407c0XXXXX_original..jpg]: slack server error: 403 Forbidden

Is there debugging I can provide?
