Is FFF no longer working with AO3, or is there a new trick that's required? I've tried various different stories over the course of yesterday and today - I've tried URLs, from emails, etc. - each time with no success. Fetching metadata, even for a single story, sometimes just hangs indefinitely with "not responding" (or I cancel it after hours), and sometimes just takes an inordinate amount of time - I've been using FFF for years and years, and I've never experienced this. Once metadata is fetched, and I go forward with updating, most updates fail with 525 errors.

I haven't used FFF in a few months, so I apologize if this is an existing problem and there's an answer somewhere in the 50 pages of forum since I last used it - I did try searching but couldn't easily find anything! I know I wasn't having this problem in December, the last time I did a bunch of updates.

Edited: Okay, I did another, clearly better, search and found all the recent discussion of this issue, which I wish I'd done before posting this, so please disregard!

Thank you!
