However, you should also be aware that ffnet in particular has a history of blocking users who download 'too many' stories at a time. What exactly is 'too many' isn't known. There's an FAQ about it.
For long term, I recommend using email notices to update your library. |
Thanks, that actually was very helpful, because I can work around the limitation for the follows by downloading the HTML for the mobile page. (With a little manipulation to address the relative URLs.) Not sure why I never thought of going to the mobile site for those, since I've done it in the past for some authors with very large favorite lists.
Is there any way to throttle FanFicFare so that you enter a web page and it downloads say 5 stories, waits 15 minutes to a half an hour, downloads 5 more, etc...?
Not sure I want to enter my email password into Calibre, no offense to your plugin.
(As you note in the description of the feature, it does open up the password to other plugins as well.)
