Hi there,

I'm having problems with FanFiction.net. I have sorta solved it, but my solution makes no sense.

It was working fine a few days ago, but now, everytime I try to update or add a story, calibre hangs. I use a Mac, and I have to Force Quit calibre.

I also have tried to get a debug log, but it is empty. However, the terminal screen shows this:

FFDL: DEBUG:calibre_plugins.fanfictiondownloader_plugin. ffdl_plugin(155):Plugin FanFictionDownLoader macmenuhack file_path:/Users/uten/Library/Preferences/calibre/plugins/fanfictiondownloader_macmenuhack.txt
FFDL: DEBUG:calibre_plugins.fanfictiondownloader_plugin. ffdl_plugin(722):FanFictionDownLoader v1.8.10

FFDL: DEBUG:calibre_plugins.fanfictiondownloader_plugin. fanficdownloader.adapters.adapter_fanfictionnet(88 ):URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/10075318/1/
Terminated: 15

The website itself seems to work fine. I use AT&T DSL.

To fix it, I turned on my VPN. It now works fine. I found that out by accident.

Why was it crashing?? And why would just turning on a VPN fix that?

Thanks,
uten

P.S. After further testing, it seems to have only fixed it some of the time..
