MacMillan audio downloader not working #110

Hi, For about 3 weeks DownloadAudio doesn't work with MacMillan at all and for downloading from OALD must try a hundred times and receive "Nothing Downloaded" message then maybe download a pronunciation. How could I troubleshoot this problem?

Yes, i guess the MacMillan downloader stopped working. The OALD works fine for me, though. So, how to troubleshoot? UTSL. Specifically

Change the list in downloadaudio/downloaders/__init__.py so that you use only one of the MacMillan downloaders
Uncomment the raise around line 85 in downloadaudio/download.py (and comment out the continue
See what happens
Try the relevant code from the MacMillan downloader in a Python shell

Some more things to keep in mind:

MacMillan may have changed their website, so that the download
- doesn’t work at all any more or
- only works with a massive rework.
I have sort-of moved on and don’t work on these add-ons very much any more,
and don’t want to do a massive rework.
