download_profile_photo doesn't work with InputChannel
Since download_file
is no longer accessible, I assume that the correct way to download a channel avatar is with the download_profile_photo
function.
Code that causes the issue
channel = InputChannel(channel_id=xxx, access_hash=xxx)
await client.download_profile_photo(channel, thumb='c', progress_callback=None)
Traceback

I do not recommend attempting to find and report issues for v2 yet. Things will still change then.
Closing since it's v2-related and that's still way too far away.
