Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
I am using this for the first time, and when I try to tell it to download from my bookmarks (https://archiveofourown.org/users/chaoticjellybean/bookmarks), and log in (so it will grab the locked ones), I get the following issue:
options
d: display menu
a: download from ao3 link
l: get all work links from an ao3 listing (saves links only)
f: download links from file
u: download latest version of incomplete fics
s: download missing fics from series
r: re-download fics saved in one format in a different format
m: download marked for later list and mark all as read (requires login)
p: download bookmarks from pinboard
v: convert logfile into interactable html
i: configure ignore list (list of links to never try to download)

I am not sure what this error means and searching the internet did not help, I got some Stack Overflow pages but I'm not a dev so I don't want to tinker under the hood. I went as far to make sure my password doesn't have any characters windows file systems don't play nice with, just in case.
I followed your troubleshooting steps for windows (confirmed python version is Python 3.11.4), including deleting venv, reinstalling, the whole works, but I still get the same error.
Any ideas what this might be?
I tried downloading a file without logging in, but it just says "downloading works" and doesn't say anything after that (and I still don't get a log file or anything in the downloads folder).
I'm having the same issue! I've been using the downloader for a while, and was downloading as normal until the latest wave of ao3 instability, which began on the 6th. I thought it might be related to the instability itself, but the downloader hasn't gone back to working now that the website is more stable. Just commenting so you know more ppl have this issue! No pressure or anything since I know this isn't a job or anything. Oh, and thanks so much for putting this together!!
I had the same issue but only when I switched to wi-fi, when I'm on LAN, the downloader told me that my connection's on time out. I do think this is an AO3.org issue because when I used Calibre's Fanficfare it's also pretty slow. So I'm gonna guess that the server's being robust as they recently did a major maintenance for the site.
I'm going to wait and see for the next few days to see if it gets better.
Yeah, this is almost certainly because of something that's going on with ao3's servers. I asked around and it's affecting other people's scrapers as well. That kind of sucks for us since there's not really anything I can do about that. I can maybe try adding some more robust retry logic, but I'm kind of hoping otw will just sort themselves out before I can finish that 😅
Okay, I was able to raise one of the ao3 systems folks on discord - I don't want to say too much since I am not affiliated with otw and can't speak for them of course, but sounds like yes there is an issue and they are working on it. Unfortunately the timeline might be a bit longer than I hoped since their plan involves replacing hardware, which takes time. If I'm able to implement any mitigations in the meantime, I'll be sure to ping this thread.
Don't know if this is a fluke or not but after not being able to download several times using the regular bookmark link (https://archiveofourown.org/users/UserNameHere/bookmarks) I decided to try https://archiveofourown.org/users/UserNameHere/bookmarks?page=1 and I was able to get mine to start downloading again
