It was more an idle thought, but, in the case of a paged site like literotica, there might be metadata on the last page. Being able to collect that when the that paged is reached rather than up front might be useful.

In point of fact, I argued for years against the usefulness of collecting those numbers even for sites where they are easy, due to the fact the numbers in your library would only be a snapshot of when you downloaded/updated it.
True, and I don't connect them. Or if I do, it's because I haven't bothered turning them off.
