Cannot open cookies file ‘gdown.cookie.temp’: No such file or directory

It's trying to access a cookie named "gdown.cookie.temp" when executing the wget command, which doesn't exist, giving me the following error: Cannot open cookies file ‘gdown.cookie.temp’: No such file or directory

It's true! In fact the script runs ok without using cookies at all. The problem is that now I'm not sure that this behaviour were like this before or if gdrive has changed in these last 4 years... I think the code can manage cookies correctly if they were set. As it is a 'minor' issue 'cause downloading is caught ok, I'm not planning to remove the cookies part... maybe I'll add an existence checking. Thanks!

BTW: gdown.cookie.temp file can be useful to download authenticated files (in a semi-automated fashion): see https://github.com/circulosmeos/gdown.pl/issues/6#issuecomment-425638873 .
