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?
Hi, I am not very tech-savvy and didn't see this specific issue described in the list of issues, as far as I can tell. I was using Ao3Downloader to scrape my personal account's bookmarks, and it downloaded up to page 7 of 21. Then the command prompt said something about AO3 refresh in so many seconds. Then it gave me: "downloading works
'd' to display the menu again
please enter your choice, or 'q' to quit:"
I thought I just had to restart the download process, but now, it just loops to those three lines. I restarted the program, went through everything again. It still always takes me back to "please enter your choice"... It will not download any more fanfiction.
Is there something I messed up, or a way to get it to work again?
Here's the log after i restarted the command prompt:
"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)

Thank you.
For me, it's simply a timeout error, so I just wait for a couple minutes before trying again. I'd also check out your
logs/log.jsonlto see what it says.
