[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[jesscat]

I used FFF with AO3 a week ago from today without issue. Today when I tried, I got this 525 server error, which is not the 403 others have received. Nothing has changed in calibre or FFF configurations on my end, and I am up to date on FFF and calibre versions. Any suggestions? I'm getting this for every story I try to download.

Yes I'm getting same. 525 is SSL Handshake Failed CloudFlare error: https://developers.cloudflare.com/su...ndshake-failed

https://bsky.app/profile/status.arch.../3lhyined6mk2g latest message, so maybe try later.

Ah, I didn’t see that, thanks! The archive itself and stories were loading for me with no problem so I didn’t think to look. Yes I’ll try again later and see if that solves the issue.

It's working for me, but slow.

I found that the accuracy of Google Translate Free called by FFF has dropped a lot.
There are many words that are translated incorrectly, which seems to happen when LLM is used to split the words into tokens, not the single word..
This does not appear in the web translate version. Is there a way to fix this?

Could FFF please be updated to reflect the change.
Thanks

Are you in the correct thread? FFF doesn't call Google Translate.

I'm having the same issue PLUS the fetching operation takes forever now.

for the last day it's been basically impossible to download anthologies from Ao3 due to those 525 errors

New Test Version Posted

- adapter_literotica: http->https
- adapter_literotica: Site changes for non-www domains.

literotica has 9 sub domains ('www','german','spanish','french','dutch','italia n','romanian','portuguese','other') that are all treated the same.

FFF used to use http or https, whichever it was given in the story URL. Changing that to switch http to https across the board is easy, and a quick check does show https works with all the known domains.

OTOH, it looks like all domains other than www have different HTML now.

I've tried to fix it, but I don't read that site, especially in other languages, so my test set was fairly small.

Thanks for the Test Version, works great.
The two subdomains are the only ones listed as examples in the SupportedSites on github. So I didn't try the other ones.

This is all Cloudflare related. I've seen all the same issues with both these type errors and the download delays fetching metadata, both before and after A03's database maintenance. In fact, I've even had some fics throw "Unknown" errors as well.

The same fics will immediately download if I activate my VPN service and download them through a different IP address (which, I routinely don't do, using it only for testing purposes to ensure I don't have some other problem, in order to keep my VPN IP from getting blacklisted by Cloudflare). Overall, I've found Cloudflare on A03 to be very sensitive, and I don't consider myself a huge volume downloader (I spread 4-10 fic updates out over an 18 hour period each day).

@JimmXinu, out of curiosity, on A03 updates does FFF just update by downloading new chapters, or does it re-download the entire fic?

## AO3 offers a page to download the entire work at once.  This can
## save a lot of network traffic if there are many chapters.
## True by built-in default.
#use_view_full_work:true

You can turn it off with use_view_full_work:false.

No, there isn't a way to differentiate between new downloads and updates.
