- wattpad - Separate category from tags, include rags in genre by default, use larger cover image. - Thanks, botmtl!
- wattpad - need to pass utf8FromSoup a soup...
- Add comma_entries option to add commas to metadata entries--numbers only.
- wattpad - add defaults slow_down_sleep_time:2 and comma reads.
- Update translations.
@Atherton25 - I think your slow downs and other download issues had to do with throttling and large numbers of images. I've added a default
slow_down_sleep_time for wattpad.
BTW, yes, I generally appreciate debug logs with problems, but +500M of log is a bit excessive when editing quotes. At least attach it as a file next time it's that large, please.

replace_metadata is your friend.

You might consider sharing your solution when you have one you are happy with.

I've added a
comma_entries ini option. I'll default wattpad
reads to use it. Not sure why I haven't done that before.

Seconds, between network requests. It's not applied when a previously fetched/cached page is used again.

Shouldn't it just get the cover (which it didn't have) and the metadata, since all the chapters were already there? I didn't actually check the story before doing a forced update. Hmm. and no, not an overwrite, just forced update.

The lines like this:
Code:
FFF: DEBUG: 2017-05-26 11:54:16,605: story.py(156): no_convert_image url:https://em.wattpad.com/excessivelylongnumber - no known extension
...don't indicate downloading again, just that without a file extension FFF is going to assume jpg. Only occurs when
no_image_processing:true Otherwise, images are converted to jpg because that's all some reader devices understand.
I'm not seeing anything unexpected happen now, but then I'm only looking at the first few chapters.
So I'm chalking what ever else was going on up to throttling effects; unless you can replicate it when you're not being throttled.
