The questions are there for you to helpfully answer them, so we can try to 
reproduce and analyze the problem on our end. If you just skip them entirely 
with the comment "Story not downloading..." we can not reliably tell what went 
wrong on your end.

I tested downloading the story on my end, and although it took quite a while 
(range of several minutes) it did work in the end. I am assuming you got 
impatient and simply aborted the process. As of today the story has 296 
chapters, so it's only to be expected that downloading it will take quite a 
while.

If you in fact encountered a different "error" than the one outlined above let 
us know in more detail and I'll reopen the issue.

Our FanFictionDownLoader doesn't have an RTF output.  Are you sure you're 
reporting to the correct place?  There's another project with the same name...

I'm not somewhere that I can download a 297 chapter story this weekend.  But I 
believe cryzed when they says it works for them and agree with them--we need 
better details to do anything with your issue.

>.< I'm sorry... I didn't know how to fill out the rest of the he questions... 
And no... I did not cancel it... I waited until it finished... I tried 
downloading it as a document ePub and text... Then only thing that downloaded 
after 5 minutes was the story details and chapter numbers... I entered the 
link, hit check then hit download... It starts, yes it took a while but I 
didn't end it... After about 10 minutes that was all that downloaded... I 
haven't had a problem with the program before... Until I updated it the other 
day... :(

How are you using it: in Calibre? From the command-line? From the web version? 
Are you sure, as Jimm mentioned, that you are really using _this_ software? 
What version of it are you using etc. -- Please give us something to work with.

Attached is the EPUB file I downloaded with it over the command-line and it 
arrived entirely. Mind you, this is the exact same version used in Calibre.

What is calibre? I just downloaded it from the website o.o I am using it on my 
laptop... It says it the latest version... I can attatch the file I downloaded 
when I get home (out right now) and show you what I kept getting...

I suspect that you are not actually using our software, but some other 
software. Can you link the website where you supposedly downloaded it from? At 
least in this case you can't just download it and use it as a layman without 
using the Calibre plugin.

I agree with cryzed.  Our FFDL is available as a plugin to the calibre ebook 
management system, a web service, or a command-line python program.

http://www.fanfictiondownloader.net/ is a different project unrelated to us.  
They have a windows GUI program and many output formats while supporting only a 
handful of sites.  Our program is most commonly used with calibre, supports 
over 100 fanfiction sites but only supports 4 output formats.  

Which is why I asked about it when you said you were using RTF output...

>.< so it's not even your program I'm using.... I'm sorry... -_-' 

So... Where will I find your program... Can it be used on computers?

Original comment by princess...@hotmail.com on 26 Oct 2014 at 4:50

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Yes, it can be used on computers. You'll have to download and install Calibre 
(http://calibre-ebook.com/) and then you can choose to install our plugin 
directly from within the program via Preferences->Get plug-ins to enhance 
Calibre. The rest should be fairly obvious.

There is an active support thread here: 
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=163261 which is better suited 
for asking further questions. Good luck.
