It's a pity, but Kobo browser is not very much reliable ;-(
Sometimes scripts are downloaded ok and everything goes well, but sometimes there are empty downloads (0 bytes file). Sometimes browser is closed after download, sometimes not. I didn't found the reason...

Sample short scripts are downloaded ok (but not always i though) but it seems with longer scripts there are more failed downloads. For example with this script screenshots-off.sh:
Spoiler:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

# Change Screenshots=true/false in [FeatureSettings] for Kobo eReader.conf

KOBO_CONF="/mnt/onboard/.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf"

sed 's/^Screenshots=true$/Screenshots=false/g' <"$KOBO_CONF" >"$KOBO_CONF".tmp && mv "$KOBO_CONF".tmp "$KOBO_CONF"
