| Summary | 0000084: 0.9.4 doesn´t finish download / conversion from fanfiction.net | ||||
| Description | Hi! For some days now I am unable to successfully download stories longer then 10-15 chapters. At the latest after chapter 20 the pages are empty, if there even is destination file. And always ffd just disappears after that. I tried MOBI and EPUB as destination formats and also reinstalling ffd. Also trying different settings for Delay and Dynamic Delay didn´t help. I am using your tool for years now I like it very much. Regards, ironduke57 | ||||

I can reproduce this consistently, and after some testing it looks like fanfiction.net now has a lower tolerance for short delays when scraping 20+ chapters. Windows 10 21H2, FFDL 0.94. First failure today, last used March 10th (successfully). Settings at 1 second delay, 0 dynamic delay, which has worked for the 6 months since I initially discovered FFDL. HTML output consistently contains exactly 19 full chapters, and then only chapter titles for the rest of the work. During export to PDF, FFDL crashes; the PDF is generated and matches HTML content, but the source HTML is not deleted despite that option being checked. If I "back off" the settings to 5 second delay, 5 second dynamic delay, I get a full download, successful conversion to PDF, and HTML cleanup (i.e. normal operation). 5 second delay, 0 dynamic delay also results in normal operation. 3 second delay, 0 dynamic delay also results in normal operation. I'm pretty sure the FFDL default is 5/0 seconds and I turned it down to 1/0 myself, so I'll chalk this up to user error. |
