Hi, First of all thanks for the program :D and have a Merry Christmas soon. I have the same problem with the chapters. They appear blanco. Sometimes I do see some text other times it's completely blanco https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13287185/8/Harry-Potter-and-the-Lightning-Child https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13652455/1/Harold-Wayne https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13456617/1/Dark-Lord-Potter Sincerely Eleonor |

Hi, this behaviour is caused by the cloudflare Captcha page. Somewhere in the middle of downloading the story, the captcha page appears and is of course not solved. So no further chapters are downloaded. Not sure if it'll help if I just add a Sleep of maybe 5 sec between chapters, I need to test this. Cloudflare adds a multiple second delay to check if you are human. that'S why it takes longer if it's working compared to being faster if you are stuck at the error-page If this won't solve the issue then I'm going for plan B: It'll just stop downloading when a captcha page appears, Show you the page to resolve the captcha and continue after you've confirmed that the chapter is now visible. Simple in theory But the internal structure of FFDL is not prepared for that so it'll take some time. But with this approach FFDL will behave like any human controlled browser. I hope you are able to survive for now with retrying some downloads, I'm working on the issue |

I'm happy to hear that the issue is resolvable :) No worries, worst case I'll just make up a list of the long fics that update in the meantime, and save them for later. |

Thanks for the update Raimond. Like abzb13 wrote ill collect the stories and download them later. Keep up the good work :D |

Update: I'm currently testing a version which brings up the captcha page for you to manually resolve. Works fine in my tests, sending it currently to an user for testing (Thanks Mike). I'm also playing with a delay between the individual chapters to reduce the amout of captchas that pop up. Testing these features is very difficult for me since it seems that my IP is very much trusted, so it nearly never comes up for me |

Please try 0.9.3, it should fix the problem. In the settings of FFDL you have two new options to configure delays (random and static one). Also, capt has are now shown to you for manually solving them if they come up. Please report if this solves your issue. |

Awesome! I'm going through my list of fics that were having problems, from the shortest to the longest, no problems at all! |
