On sites with unique chapter URLs, FFF will handle it automatically. You could even use ignore_chapter_url_list to exclude the offending 'chapter'.

And the mark_new_chapters feature is specifically for indicating which chapter(s) are new.

Spoiler:

On sites with simple numbered chapter URLs (like ffnet), I think you'll have to manage it manually. What I'd probably do in such a situation is use Calibre's 'Edit book' and remove chapter after downloading.

That's about as much as I can say without knowing story URLs.

I'm not sure either of those options would work, because week 1's "bad" chapter becomes week 2's latest, correct, chapter, in the same URL. Since FFF only downloads the new chapters, any updates after the initial download will just have the bad chapter repeated at the end, since it won't download modified chapters. The story URL is https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/48...thout-a-system

The Sietch has Cloudflare in ‘siege mode’. According to the information displayed, the reason for this is extremely heavy bot traffic. In addition, a login is required for downloads with FFF. However, when you log in, you get a 403 client error with FFF.

Hi, I'm back again because FFF has broken even more for me lately. It seems to only be able to download 2 chapters of a fic (first and last, which it opens the URLs in the browser for) and all the others fail, and while previously I could manually open the failed chapters in my browser (firefox) and update using the URL (instead of just selecting the fic and choosing 'update'), even this no longer works for me. Please tell me what tests I could try to isolate the issue or where I could look for help. I know nothing about Python nor anything about Qt but I managed to dig up the last time you had this discussion which seemed to have been solved by the test version calling Calibre's safe_open_url? Also, does this plugin support using fanfictiondownloader's cache, and if so could you please point me to the cache path? ~/Users/REDACTED/Library/Caches/fanficdownloader/QtWebEngine/Default/Cache just fails completely.

Here's an example of me trying to download the last 42 chapters of a fic (I tried downloading 93 chapters at once after loading the pages manually and somehow the first 40 or so chapters worked before the method failed):

Spoiler:

Just in case, I tried updating another fic with failed chapters with use_browser_cache_only:false and here's the log:

Spoiler:

And here's where something similar last came up:

By choosing the browser that Calibre use in the settings, that it's used to open the pages by FFF. I preffer to have a browser that I only use for FFF

I've got "browser_cache_age_limit:12" at the moment and I've also tried clearing Firefox's cache before trying again (with and without freshly loading the chapters manually).
