error fetching several puzzle sources: invalid start byte #47

Hi, I have recently started receiving an error when trying to use xword-dl to fetch New Yorker's puzzles:

'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x9b in position 1: invalid start byte

This is on Ubuntu 20.04.04, Python 3.8.10 and the latest xword-dl 2022.05.21 - all the other outlets/shortcodes seem fine! I'm not sure exactly how far back this started, probably a week or two. Thank you for this wonderful tool :smile:

I apologize, actually the same issue is also present with at least lat and vox puzzles as well. Puzzles from nyt, wsj, usa and wp at least all seem to download correctly. Changed name of the issue accordingly!
