Universal/USA Today/WSJ Downloads Failing #61

Closed yourealwaysbe closed 1 year ago

Split out from #60.

USAToday was having issues with their crossword globally over the last 4 days. Some people say it's back, but the link Forkyz (and my script) used to pull it is generating a 503.

I wonder if USAToday is pulling the plug on their free crosswords.

They are both working for me this morning.

@th0mcat is it still 503ing for you? Which country are you accessing them from (perhaps there's some kind of filter)?

@dtoxic47 does it work on your end now?

Only wall street journal failed today (previous days work) all others work

Can confirm it's working again

Bah -- previous days aren't working for me for the WSJ. I'll keep an eye on it.

edit: oh, because i hadn't turned the internet on, d'oh.. no WSJ for today, but it might be a bit early. I'll add "no internet warning" and "timezone sensitive downloads" to the wishlist.

WSJ was working for me today this morning. I'll close this issue now.
