Re: Change of topic (Sunset over Britain)
Well if you like PDF versions there is one in the files section
Otherwise I have a epub I downloaded ages ago.
I tried to get on FanficAuthors.net to reread Sunset over Britian.? The site will note come up.? Time out or connection fail is the all that comes up.? Hubby tried to just bring up the site, no writer page.? Same thing!? Now I wish I had downloaded.

I am running OSX v11.1 and the FanFictionDownloader refuses to work. No matter how many chapters the file contains, it only tries to process one and doesn't even do that correctly. :(

Re: new ffn problem. ATTN Rai
I personally had someone using one of my tools comparatively, try this step. While it failed for them, it might still work for you.
Granted Cloudflare might tag your ip address as a possible threat as well, so that is something to consider.

I bought mine back in 2010, so it might have the CPU that is necessary. I really hope someone comes up with something soon. I've got lots of fanfics I need to download.

Re: new ffn problem. ATTN Rai
Hi,
I have bad news for the XP users out there: it is impossible to
build a version that's running on XP.
I was able to get 0.9.1 running (before the ff.net captcha
problem) but of course it's not usable for ff.net.
The implementation that was required to work with the ff.net
captchas is simply to modern and can't be compiled for XP.
But it was nice seeing a virtual machine with XP again, good
memories.... Especially when I remembered that an installation of
XP back then took more than an hour and now it was done in less
than 10 minutes - finding the CD took longer than that.
Maybe you could take a look at the webversion? If that's enough
for you you could use that instead? I hope to get it running again
by tomorrow evening - currently i'm uploading 0.9.3 to the server.
