Error message while trying to update stories
Hi. I am getting a similar error message while trying to update stories (The number doesn't matter nor which stories I try to update. Could be 5, could be 50.) after I updated the plugin on calibre today. Can someone please suggest a solution.

When you are looking at the update list, remove the ones that say 'No story url found' before hitting OK. |

I was interested if there are any plans on improving mobi generating? Like TOC and fixing unreadable parts? If not, then maybe I can try to help? Is there any prefered method to help you with development?

However now their is a different issue. Whenever I try to update the stories (Again the no doesn't matter, I have tried it with groups numbering 5 to 30 of different stories from my collection of 400 odd), the plugin starts fetching metadata for the stories but it doesn't finish. Calibre ends up freezing somewhere during this step of the updating and when I try to retrieve it "Windows Explorer" gives me the error message that Calibre will now be closing. Calibre hasn't been able to successfully finish updating the stories I select (As I mentioned I have tried different size bunches from the collection) ever since I was able to get rid of the earlier error. I have been using the plugin on Calibre for 4-5 months now and this is the first time I have experienced any issues. It seems these issues have surfaced right after I updated the plugin today. I would appreciate if you could look into the problems and suggest a solution again. Would truly appreciate it. |

The Google code project we keep it in has a facility for people to clone the repository (not the whole project) for their own use. I'd suggest starting with a clone and then once you've made some progress let me know and I'll review it for inclusion. |

Attached is a test version with a potential fix for the KeyError: u'site' problem.
I'd appreciate it if a couple of the people who saw that problem would give it a try. Thanks. UPDATE Feb 28, 2014 -- Remove obsolete beta versions Last edited by JimmXinu; 02-28-2014 at 06:19 PM. Reason: Remove obsolete beta versions |

To prevent throttling on ffnet, the sleep time between requests was significantly increased version before the last. Long enough that calibre was entering the 'not responding' state according to windows. The last version included code to reduce those sleep times for small update sets. Quoting myself from an earlier post: Quote:
Throttling by ffnet is no longer a theory, but an established fact. |

Hi. I would like to help but I don't know what to do with the contents of the zip file. If you could explain, perhaps I may be able to help.

I usually update my fics once in a week or 10 days and haven't encountered any problems prior to this update (Although the update of the entire library did take a long time), but trying to select 10 and going from there is a bit tedious, esp if you don't know whether the update would succeed or not. I have made the changes you suggested wrt choosing update instead of overwrite, but the issue is the process doesn't go beyond the stage of fetching metadata more often than not. Hope this would be of some use to you. Thank you once again for the reply and hope you can provide a solution. |

Evidence from other users is that it generally takes a couple days for the throttle to expire. After that, you're generally okay again as long as you don't do too many updates at once. Personally, I define 'too many' as about 10. |

Interesting. I got caught in the throttle problem a while back and was confused because I try and keep my updating number to three or less at time. I chalked it up to FFNet's general flakiness, but I've just checked through my FFNet anthologies and found one that has eight stories in it. Could an update of a large anthology trigger the throttle?
