Thanks for opening an issue!

If you open the comic URL in your browser, do you get a Cloudflare captcha? If so, unfortunately, Mandown won't be able to download the comic because it can't bypass Cloudflare's anti-bot protection.

Hi, thanks for the reply!

No, I don't get a captcha when opening the URL in a browser.
