Cordova FileTransfer Download - always returns error 3

I've ran into some problems while using cordova plugin File Transfer. Thats my code:

window.requestFileSystem(
    LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT,
    0,
    function onFileSystemSuccess(fileSystem) {
        fileSystem.root.getFile(
            "dummy.html", {create: true, exclusive: false},
            function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) {
                var sPath = fileEntry.fullPath.replace("dummy.html", "");
                var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
                fileEntry.remove();

                fileTransfer.download( 'http://cordova.apache.org/images/cordova_bot.png', sPath + photo.original_name,
                    function (theFile) {
                        alert('success: ' + JSON.stringify(theFile));
                        console.log("download complete: " + theFile.toURI());
                        // showLink(theFile.toURI());
                    },
                    function (error) {
                        alert('error: ' + JSON.stringify(error));
                        console.log("download error source " + error.source);
                        console.log("download error target " + error.target);
                        console.log("upload error code: " + error.code);
                    },
                    true
                );
            })
    },
    function (error) {
        alert('error request: ' + JSON.stringify(error));
    }
);

The fileTransfer.download's error callback is being returned with error code 3, http 401. I already updated the File and FileTransfer plugins, my cordova version is 4.3.0. Also checked my config.xml for

<access origin="*" />

but it's there. I tried adding the header Connection: close, but no result. Tried setting the download's 4th param to its default (false) too - no luck.

Testing on Android tablet.

Anyone anything? Thanks!

Just found a "solution" to my problem. What I did was to downgrade the file-transfer plugin version from 0.5.0 to 0.4.8.

If someone ever face similar problem, do as below:

1. Delete the existing file-transfer plugin by running 'cordova plugins list' and then 'cordova plugin remove name_from_list'
2. Go to https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer/releases and download the zip file of 0.4.8 release.
3. Unzip the file in root of your cordova application
4. Run 'cordova plugin add path_to_unzipped_folder'

That's it. Seems to be working well, at least the success callback is returned, didn't really test more of it.
