Dropbox v2 upload cursor offset confusion

I can only upload the first chunk only

import dropbox,requests,sys
def down(url):
dbx=dropbox.Dropbox(AccessToken)

size=25*1024*1024
a=0
i=0

params = {'':'', 'render':'download'}

r=requests.get(url,params=params,stream=True)
clen=r.headers['Content-length']

for chunk in r.iter_content(chunk_size=size):

if chunk:
i+=1
a+=len(chunk)

c=a/(1024*1024)
sys.stdout.write('\r'+str(round(c,2)))
if i==1:
strtid = dbx.files_upload_session_start(chunk)
cursor = dropbox.files.UploadSessionCursor(session_id=strtid.session_id,offset=a)
commit = dropbox.files.CommitInfo(path='/source')
if (clen-a)<size:
dbx.files_upload_session_finish(chunk,cursor,commit)

else:
dbx.files_upload_session_append(chunk,cursor.session_id,cursor.offset)


url='https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/openofficeorg.mirror/extended/iso/en/OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install_en-US_20110219.iso?r=https%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fopenofficeorg.mirror%2F%3Fsource%3Ddirectory&ts=1533004315&use_mirror=excellmedia'
down(url)


And I got a error

    [Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51606801/python3-dropbox-uploading-error-using-api-v2 ]

     

    That error indicates that you're supplying an incorrect offset value for this upload session when uploading a chunk of data. The error includes the correct value, but you'll need to debug your code to see why you're not sending it in the first place. (I don't see where you update the offset value in your code, for example.)

     

    There's a basic example of using upload sessions with the Python SDK here:

      I have the variable `a` for offset.
      Now i'm getting UploadSessionError('path',WriteError('conflict',WriteConflictError('file',None))))

        A 'path/conflict/file' error indicates that the upload failed because there is already a file at the specified path.

         

        You should instead specify a different path, or supply a different WriteMode to to files_upload_session_finish in the CommitInfo to automatically handle the conflict.
