Stalling while downloading pictures #1

Closed lnxcwby closed 11 years ago

lnxcwby commented 11 years ago

Excellent script! I seem to have trouble with it stalling while it's downloading pictures from my profile. First attempt it stalled at 26 out of 208, second at 151.

Any thoughts? Is there a timeout I can tweak?

Thanks!

There isn't a timeout. Can you say more about what you mean when you type "stalled at"? Did the counter just freeze, was there an error message, that sort of thing.

It's possible that FetLife.com is simply responding more slowly.

If you just run the script a second time, it will recognize images you've already downloaded and skip those by default (the counter will just blast through those numbers quickly). So, you could try running it several times until you've got all your content.

The counter just stopped. No errors near where it was. I ran it a few more times, and it completed.

Very cool script. Cheers!
