Manga-Scraper

Updates

It has come to my attention most, if not all of the manga on MangaFox is licensed in the US and is not available.

I encountered this when I ran Manga-Scraper on my server situated in the U.S.

Since it scrapes actual pages for content, it will fail if it encounters a 'It's Licensed' page.

I apologize to any people having these problems. I will try to address these eventually by finding another manga hosting website to scrape.
