Other things from SV are downloading fine, and I'm having no problems with any other site, it just seems to be this single story. Obviously, this won't be a rush to fix, but since I know FFF has worked on this story before (I had been downloading it fine until the most recent threadmark), I'm trying to understand what is going wrong. |
There are a small number of SV stories that require login, but SV(etc) don't give any indication between 'need to login' and 'bad story URL'.
You can download them by setting always_login:true for either the site, or just the one story:

Any idea why this happens?

I'm going to guess Flaresolverr getting hung on something with CloudFlare but not reporting it. FFF doesn't retry connections to Flaresolverr, so it should have either succeeded or failed pretty quickly if it's a problem with that connection.
That said, I am largely beyond caring about CloudFlare shenanigans at this point.
I am aware that Cancel button on metadata loop dialog isn't particularly timely. I don't know of any way for FFF to forceably end the network IO running in the foreground thread.
