Thank you very much for the suggestion Twoearle. I will definitely keep it in mind the next time I need to update my manga list. However, I was hoping that there might be a solution within FMD itself that I could utilize by changing some sort of setting I am unaware of. It would be nice if there was a way to limit the speed at which the list could be updated like we are able to with downloading manga.
Under Mangadex's advanced settings, you can choose lowest connection numbers etc. One time (maybe 1 year or more ago), i've asked that we can choose specific number of download speed, so app limit itself to that number. But i dunno what happened, well, this project is dead now anyway.
Because of your internet speed (you download 1 page faster than you normally read), cloudflare thinks you're a bot or something, so bans your ip.
For me setting everything to "1" in Advanced settings for MangaDex, plus copying the cookies and UserAgent my browser uses when accessing MangaDex seems to help prevent this.
I also tend to just search for a Manga using MangaDex's search, and then just copying the manga's URL into FMD directly.
I was recently trying to download a new manga series on mangadex that did not show up in FMD, so I pressed the "update manga list" button which led to my IP getting banned by cloudflare (to note is that I have not needed to update the manga list for many many months now and it took quite a while for the update to complete). I was able to speak to one of the mangadex admins on discord and got myself unbanned, but I was given a warning that if I got banned again he would not unban me next time as this went beyond me hitting the mangadex internal limits and I set off the cloudflare ban instead. I have been using FMD for a long time now to download manga from mangadex without issues as I have set the number of downloaded tasks and number of downloaded files per task at the same time values to 1. Is there a similar way that I can limit the "update manga list" option so that I will not get banned again in the future?
