Houdoku version
v2.13.1
Operating system
Windows 10
Steps to reproduce
add series from mangakakalot/any other aggregate site that send the user to different URL's
The 2nd domain shuts down/goes offline
Series don't update and console spews errors
Expected behavior
When the site shuts down a url that the software tries to re-import the series if it still exists on the site,
updating the pathing to the new URL the aggregate site uses while it maintains progress
Reload series -> check if site is online
if offline -> go to original aggregate site
pull data(url) from series
check if -> (series url == old_url) (this also makes so that it doesnt overwrite a series if the site is just down for a moment)
if not -> (update old_url to new_url)
if its the same chapter structure paste it over
if not open new modal which tells you what progress you were on the old_series
open new series page, select where you were update new list
repeat for each manga this happened.
Actual behavior
no fallback system for when a url goes down, leaving series in a permanent frozen state, never updating.

i found this happened to me recently while using mangakakalot with series that we're linking to "https://readmanganato.com".
this page was fully offline now only showing some text "index"
the serie was now being directed to the url "https://chapmanganato.to" but houdoku never knew this and kept trying to read the series data from "https://readmanganato.com" for over 122 series.
