Unable to bypass anti-bot protection with Manga Downloader Assistant

[nexist418]

When you report an issue please be sure to:

1. Include the URL of the manga and specify what its chapter gives the issue
2. Paste/Upload the jvm_log.txt file! You'll can find the jvm_log.txt file created automatically by the program in the same folder where the program's executable is.

I started Manga Downloader and received a box telling me to install the Assistant and paste the results. I did so. It then tells me to use the Force button. I did so. It fails.

I am running:

• Windows 11
• Manga Downloader v60.2
• Brave 1.57.49
• Edge Version 116.0.1938.54 (Official build) (64-bit)
• The latest Assistant from each store

The anti-bot protection happens when you're getting the http 403 error, 503 is a totally different error caused by server temporary issues (you can find more info about the http 503 error here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/503 ). So it's normal you can not bypass it with MDA, this is not a bug.

P.s.: on their Discord channel they announced that they have server issues since yesterday, surely this is related to that:

Yay. Heck, it even works now.
