Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE

I'm not entirely familiar with this, but the error states "Unable to extract uploader id", and then fails as "RegexNotFoundError".

I have tested this on Linux Debian, and OpenBSD (with both the their respective package repos and from your instructions re installing via curl (the latest version).
