[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare - Page 738

Hello.
I have a little problem, i'm trying to download numerous .epub from an author (like 250+ epub files), but calibre only download 70 of them.

I think i know the "problem" : on the website, the author page show the first 70 stories, but if i want to have all of them listed, i need to click on a "Show More" button. (4 times in total.)

The problem is that, clicking on that button does'nt change the web adress, so when i download the stories using this same web adress, it only downloads the "first" page (the 70 first stories), not knowing that there is more page available.

Any ideas/solutions to that? Or am i facing a limit do the website?

Worst case scenario, i can download them manually, but that would take quite a bit of time ^^

Thank you for your time.

That's more than I recommend downloading at one time anyway. Doing lots of downloads at once is a good way to get blocked by the site. For most sites, I recommend doing batches of 20-30 with an hour or two in between batches.

Instead of using the 'Get Story URLs from Web Page' feature, you can highlight then drag (or copy/paste) each page onto/into FFF's Story URLs dialog, or even onto the FFF button in Calibre.

Without knowing what site you're talking about, I cannot tell you anything more.
