As it says on the subject line, tried using the .ps1 version, encountered following issues:

  1. When downloading from AO3 link (my bookmarks), script skips over archive-locked works. Does not even show error messages, just skips them.

  2. When downloading complete versions of incomplete fics, does go beyond "logging in" (shows "getting list of files", "getting links of incomplete fics", etc) , but there's a lot of "Could get FontBBox from font descriptor because None cannot be parsed as 4 floats" lines (screenshot attached) after "getting list of incomplete fics"

And log is updating, but shows "Request failed with status code 520" errors on practically every fic. I believe there were a lot of "Locked" errors too, but I tried to reinstall the script several times and do not see those errors in the visualized log anymore.


In "settings.ini", it does have the line "SavePassword=true" (should save password). In "settings.json", it does have correct login&password (used them to log into AO3 with Firefox just to check)

Any idea on what's wrong?

Installed this version by dragging the .ps1 file into existing ao3downloader folder.

Thanks for reporting this! I'll try to look into it tomorrow (I'd do it today but work has been like unbelievably stressful the last few days so I need to give myself a bit of a break)
