FLAG (Fanfiction.net Lightweight Automated Grabber)

The centering is being stripped by the markup tidying process - this is a slightly more complicated fix, but it should be done sometime shortly.

I haven't got an ereader yet, but one of the reasons I want to get one is to read my fanfic in bed to help me go to sleep. I appreciate all the work you have done so far to make this happen.

No worries - you're most welcome .

The following scripts are supported:

• Latin (including European and African alphabets, IPA, ...)
• Greek (including polytonic)
• Cyrillic
• Armenian
• Georgian

So no Japanese, it appears. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find a font that's both nice looking and has an extensive character set.

Will shoot you a PM. Thanks!

Played for a bit and I think I've figured it out (kinda). Of all the things that may have been causing the problem, this one's really idiotic. The ZipArchive class corrupts the archive if the filename of an entry has more than 8 characters. Yeah, I'm still scratching my head on that one. So far, I've only tried it with addFromString. No idea if addFromFile exhibits the same behavior. I wonder if upgrading PHP will fix this issue. Still using 5.2.8 and I've just been too lazy to update. Looks like your new epub script will be on my request list.

Exactly. That or just not knowing any better.

How long until this can be fixed?

Tried downloading an epub from fanfiction.net just now and it worked fine for me.

You know it's popular when it's down for just 5 hours, and I get multiple users screaming at me via email, twitter, and mobileread within half an hour of it going down...

The server suffered from excessive popularity early this morning, and ran out of memory. It's now back up and working again - my apologies for the inconvenience.

An upgraded server is on the list as soon as donation levels rise high enough to pay for it.
