EOF Error

[Nostang3]

The application crashed and provided me with an error and instructions as I'm sure you know because you programmed it. Here is the error. I'm not sure what extra information I can provide. I was using previously downloaded files from .2 and tried the new update old download folder option. Let me know if you need more information.

Are you using a VPN, or a proxy to connect to the internet?

[Nostang3]

No proxy or VPN is used.

[Avnsx]

No proxy or VPN is used.

Hmm, this is pointing to a SSL certificate verification error, which would make sense to occur if the end user was using VPN or Proxy, or similar network interfering mechanisms.

What is interesting to me is;

1. Could you use the 0.2 version without getting an error in fansly scraper?
2. Can you use automatic configurator or updater in 0.3, or do they crash / show a similar SSL certificate error?
3. Did it also somewhere show like a error number or anything like [2]Error ?
4. Does it show insecure / or a open lock icon on the top left site of your browser, if you access fansly.com with it?
5. Are you able to scrape other creators, at all with any version of fansly scraper?
6. How many pictures / videos does the creator have and was the scraper already downloading - for a long time before - this error happend? (It could be that the creator has very much content or you have been spamming downloads from the fansly servers, by scraping creator after creator and that the scraper eventually encountered a rate limit [basically a block from their server saying "stop you've already requested too much content rapidly, in a too short time"])

I'll go ahead and comment now because you're waiting for an answer but I'm currently running the application again after running the configurator and updater as instructed. Whether I get an error or not I will update this comment with the results. I will also copy the entire terminal window if I do get an error.

1. I never got this error in .2 but I've only ran this program a handful of times so I could have been lucky.
2. I ran both exes just now and they appeared to work as expected. I should note that the token and user agent were from my chrome browser originally. The updater I believe changed that to mozilla which is my default browser. I was using chrome for fansly because I had an extension in chrome that was used for downloading before I found this app.
3. It might have but it automatically closed after a minute so I barely had time to open a github issue and copy and pasted before the terminal window closed and I don't remember.
4. It shows a lock on my browser.
5. I only sub to one creator on fansly so I'm not sure I can test this part.
6. 5.8K Photos 79 Videos - I want to say it ran for like 5-10 minutes before the error. I left it run on a side monitor while I did other stuff.

Hey thanks alot for your cooperation! I have evaluated your answers and think that it is most likely some kind of rate limit (what I said on 6.), that you've encountered during the download of 5.8k photos, you have to realise that each photo is a request to the fansly cdn (server that stores their media), so 5.8k requests, every second one or two requests, it is very possible that it will eventually run into some kind of issue like this. I will try to replicate this issue and get back to you when I have a fix 👍

Also for 5. you can scrape any creator on fansly you wish to, since you don't forcefully have to be subscribed to view the creators images / to scrape them. You do not even have to be followed, but the more you do the better, since each action (follow, sub) unlocks more content on fansly.

[Nostang3]

No problem. Anything I can do to help.

I'll just comment here in case an update of the previous comment doesn't ping you but I didn't run into any errors on this second run. I will say that the program ran for 41 mins from start to finish. So my answer to 6 is probably way off.

[Avnsx]

Fixed with version 0.3.1

You can use the updater.exe, to comfortably update to the newest version
