trackma crashes at startup with "Remote end closed connection without response"

While changing an episode count on one series trackma crashed and does so on every startup now with:

At the same time I couldn't open https://anilist.co in a browser directly until enabling Tor's proxy once. So I suspect shenanigans from their admin, hoster or my ISP. But trackma still gives out same error. Running PROXY_ENABLED=yes HTTP_PROXY="127.0.0.1:8080" HTTPS_PROXY="127.0.0.1:8080" trackma-qt (where the address is tor-socks5->privoxy-http gateway) works around that and starts it up.

Either way, trackma should allow at least browsing local lists on connectivity loss instead of just crashing.
