AO3s completely down. Hopefully resolves 418s when back up.

Yes, I know. I've used it successfully with ff.net for a long time. But I have never gotten it to work consistently for AO3. I'll read the wiki again and give it another try.

Are you essentially not supporting AO3 anymore - if FFF works, it works, but that's it?

You may interpret it that way, if you wish.

I have explained how to use Browser Cache Feature over and over for literally years now. I do not have the energy anymore to help each individual user with getting it working.


What I think is going on is AO3 (and Cloudflare) are on one side, trying to protect their computational resources and content from the AI/LLM/Big Data companies trying to slurp everything on the net on the other side.

And we don't know how all that will shake out yet. For example, this popped up in the news recently from CF: Introducing pay per crawl: enabling content owners to charge AI crawlers for access.

The fact is, FFF is an automated tool for downloading from web sites. I like to think we're more respectful about it, but it's a difference in degree, not kind.


And, of course, the AO3 site is down entirely right now. Rather hard to fix that from my end.

Assuming AO3 comes back to normal, the worst case scenario is that you have to download epubs from the site instead of using FFF.

Elysian fields error

Hi,
When I try to download any fanfics from Elysian Fields (dark-solace.org), I get a 403 error. I've tried it on a number of stories now, but am unable to download them. I'm probably making a really basic error, but I can't work out how to get these to download

HTTP Error in FFF '403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://dark-solace.org/elysian/view...r=all'(403)

Meant to add, I've also tried using the browser cache feature but end up with the error:

HTTP Error in FFF 'Page not found or expired in Browser Cache (see FFF setting browser_cache_age_limit)'(428) URL:'https://dark-solace.org/elysian/viewstory.php?sid=9464&action=printable&textsize=0 &chapter=all'
https://dark-solace.org/elysian/viewstory.php?sid=9464

For both stories that require logging in and those available without logging in. The browser cache feature works fine on ff.net etc, only having issues with it on elysian fields.

Clearing the cache first sometimes needed. Try it.

open_pages_in_browser:true may also be useful.

I truly just meant this as a question out of curiosity, not as a challenge or something! I hope you don't give up on AO3, but it does seem to be a source of constant trouble (still down!}. I've used and supported FFF since its earliest days and am eternally grateful for it. Epub doenloading, while nice, doesn't compare!

If browser cache is working on your system with FFN, you have the correct browser cache location so the issue has to be in your A03 personal.ini settings in FFF.

Try starting with the following absolute base settings, which will open the AO3 pages in your default web browser window. It will generally (for multiple chapter fics, anyway) open three AO3 tabs per fic (one for the A03 fic navigation page, one for the first chapter of the fic, and one containing the entire fic). If it doesn't do this, it could be an issue with your web browser tab settings on your default browser (I have mine set up to always open a new link in a new browser tab). I've used it on Vivaldi, Firefox, and Waterfox with no problems beyond those suffered by A03 itself due to Cloudflare and A03's server issues.

Once you have it working with these settings, you can then start to experiment with the others shown in the Wiki to get it set up like you want it.

[www.archiveofourown.org]
use_browser_cache:true
use_browser_cache_only:true
open_pages_in_browser:true

For fics requiring the user to be logged in to read, log in to your A03 account in a separate web browser tab in your default browser so you will also be logged in to A03 in any subsequent web tabs opened by FFF.

Additionally, you may need to periodically clear your default web browser's cache. I have noted (in Waterfox, anyway) that FFF sometimes has issues working right immediately after the cache has been cleared. I just make a habit of loading a webpage (any site will do) in the web browser before starting the FFF download and it then mostly always works.

Hope this helps.

My notes indicate that I was blocked there last time I tested it, too. Yay, more cloudflare!

You can't use Browser Cache with that site because the 'print' page is marked 'no-cache' by the server and isn't cached to disk.

Also failed with Flaresolverr for me with a 60s timeout. I have no solution for this site.

ADDED: Look for where it says "Print or Download Story" on the chapter list page, the third icon is for download epub.
