Root error? #11

Closed betsybugaboo closed 3 years ago

betsybugaboo commented 3 years ago

I've been getting this error the past few days with ff.net fics:

ERROR:root:Failed to download page: "[URL]". ERROR:root:Failed to scan the story.

Is it something on my end? or has ff.net updated something? I've tried updating f-dl but it still keeps happening.

FF.net started protecting itself from bots, and it was able to identify f-dl as one. fiction-dl 1.8.0 uses cloudscraper to avoid being recognized to be a bot, so the problem ought to be solved in the newest release.
