Hi, I'm glad you appreciate the program, and thank you for reporting this problem.
To help figure out what's going wrong I'll need to know a bit more about the situation.
@Sibusten Happy to help provide any additional information:
@Sibusten I researched the situation further, and found the solution (at least for my instance)!
QtMake apps on Windows depend on two OpenSSL DLLs, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll, which must be present either in the app's directory or in the system32 directory. In my case, the DLLs were missing, and downloading them from this page and dropping them directly into the downloader's directory fixed the problem entirely.
You may want to directly include these DLLs in the release builds of the app, just in case other people don't have OpenSSL installed globally on Windows. :)
You are right, openssl is a dependency of qt when using https. Apparently it's loaded as needed, not at startup, which is why the program will start just fine, but not download anything.
Funny thing is that both of my test computers had some Intel program which was in the global path, and that program just happened to have distributed with openssl, so it was borrowing the dlls from there without me even knowing...
I've updated the current release with the dlls, so things should work now. Thanks again for reporting this.
Hello! Thank you for your hard work on creating this downloader project. :D
I'm running into a fatal error when attempting to connect to the Derpibooru API using the downloader:
