I always download 10 stories at a time , after i read all of them(~5-6 days) then download 10 again.
Chapter numbers vary, some have 5 or 6 and some have 30-40 chapters, but approximate word count is 200k Even if i download single link it is taking time. Sorry for late reply, i only remembered when i got link i email. |

Because FFF will retry several times (with increasingly longer waits between tries) if it has connection failures, it can take longer. Sometimes a lot longer. As long as the downloads succeed eventually, FFF is working correctly. There are many possible reasons why you may be seeing slow downloads. Pretty much all of them are outside our control. |

A wiki page with the suggestions of how people are using the replace metadata would be great. I must confess I always look when someone posts theirs personal.ini to get new ideas.
I had problems with error messages when trying to do a lot alterations at the same time. If I am not mistaken the error was 'too many values to unpack', and it mostly happened when I tried some complex rule changing a lot of things per line, or added to much changes at same time. Always a pain to discover which line was giving problem, the plugin always marked the whole section as error. |

New test version posted (direct link)https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...8&d=1446846585 that improves error reporting of lengthy personal.ini lines.

Tomorrow I will look in my old txt folder and test some of my problematic regex.
Meanwhile, it is possible to customize how the Publisher is filled for each site? I want to use the name of the archives instead of the url.... |

Jimm,
I just tried to drag and drop a link from Chrome into the download window and got this error. Spoiler:
Here is the link to the story. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4670174 I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 64bit. I asked about this before. I have attached a screenshot about the possible cause. In the shot I'm dragging the link. |

Something strange I just noticed: When downloading this story:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/4766726 as an epub, the file does not get any sort of table of contents. It has seven chapters. The html of the same fic works perfectly fine as far as I can see. I have not noticed something similar happening in other epubs, be it from AO3 or elsewhere. Would someone please try to download the story themselves to see if it's just me (if so, how?) or if it's got to do with the story itself? Thank you! I should clarify: I opened the book on calibre's in-built ebook reader. It is there I noticed this. I have not yet uploaded the fic to my reader. |

Looks perfectly normal to me.
The TOC for epub is in metadata, so unless you click the 'TOC' button in the calibre viewer, you won't see it. ADDED: Post your epub and I'll look at it if you still think there's a problem. Last edited by JimmXinu; 11-10-2015 at 07:16 PM. Reason: Addentum. |

Assuming you're still using the personal.ini that uploaded earlier, the problem is because you're using chapter_title_strip_pattern to remove chapters titles like 'Chapter 1', but you didn't set add_chapter_numbers true, so nothing is replacing them.
Relevant settings: Spoiler:
You could add add_chapter_numbers:true and you'd get chapters '1.', '2.', etc. You could set strip_chapter_numbers:false or change to the default chapter_title_strip_pattern instead of the more aggressive one. Alternatively, you could experiment with look ahead regex pattern matches for chapter_title_strip_pattern so you only remove 'Chapter 1' if there's something after it. I will also consider if I should change the system in some way to prevent this behavior, or if it would ever be desirable. |

But, since I'm really bad at regex, I think I'll just have to use the less aggressive stripping string. But there is something else wrong with this epub that calibre's epub editor can't find. Specifically, the... probably the metadata of the titlepage entries? This is what happened: Even when I use the other stripping pattern, or use no stripping at all, it does not matter. The epub will not be added the my reader's library. In response, I deleted the epub and simply let calibre convert to epub from the html file of the same fic. I let calibre add its default cover page to the fic. This epub was added to my reader's library without problems. But when I opened it, I noticed I had to immediately skip to a page or chapter after the cover page, skipping the titlepage entirely, or it would basically crash and close the fic or freeze up. It happens with both my readers and my smartphone. Basically, whether I convert the html file to epub via calibre, or I download the file from ao3 as epub, the fic will cause problems that I cannot find the root of. Do you have any idea what could be the reason? |

I've tried it in a few different readers and haven't had any problems with the FFF generated epub. You could try changing the title before sending it to your device and see if it works better. The device might be caching some bad data. The only unusual thing I found in the content was this from chapter 7: Spoiler:

OK. Since you said you had no trouble with different readers, I tried it this way: I downloaded the fic with an empty personal.ini. It worked on all three of my devices without problems. So, obviously, I messed up something there. Compared it to defaults, but couldn't see anything. To hunt the error down more easily, I trimmed personal.ini down to only the necessities, but I still can't find it. I've attached it. Can you see anything that doesn't belong there and causes this error? If it isn't too much trouble I mean?
