I'm running calibre v1.37 and FFDL v1.8.20.

When I look at the calibre jobs list, it shows that my book downloaded, but when I look at the details, I see the last 2 lines of the log file show this:

Code:
FFDL:INFO:calibre_plugins.fanfictiondownloader_plugin.jobs(100):
Successful:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10226411/1/

FFDL:INFO:calibre_plugins.fanfictiondownloader_plugin.jobs(102):
Unsuccessful:
Note that the URL is listed under 'Successful' and there's nothing listed under 'Unsuccessful'. So FFDL downloaded it okay as far as it knows.

P.S. I should add that I'm running this on a Mac. I never had this problem on my PC. Figures!
It works for me on PC, too. Unfortunately, I don't have a mac to test with.

In truth, the mobi output from FFDL really isn't all that good. It's kept primarily for the command line (CLI) and web service users.

For plugin users what I recommend (and use myself for my Kindle) is to download to epubs and use the 'Automatically Convert new/updated books' feature to convert to awz3 (or mobi, if you really want).

That way you can also benefit from the epub update feature to only download new chapters.
