Ao3 has decided to implement more stringent Cloudflare as of the present, which blocks FFF from downloading fics with a 403 error. It does seem like the download from cache method is working, so I'm currently using that as a workaround for now.

Unfortunately that workaround doesn't work for me. Let's hope it will be back to normal.

Is there any info on this? I noticed the RSS feeds are down and ao3org doesnt have any (don't know about twitter). Reddit is on a Tuesday break for some reason.

In order to get it to work, I had to force it to always use cache (use_browser_cache_only) as well as auto open the pages in the browser (open_pages_in_browser) because there are some non-standard pages you normally wouldn't use in normal browsing on Ao3 that FFF uses (i.e., the navigate page).

- Make plugin use own copy of six only. #1153

Purely for the benefit of those using Debian distro, non-official Calibre.

That would be in the [archiveofourown.org] section in the personal.ini file, right? All of sudden I'm also getting the 403 error message, too. So annoying.

FYI, I'm seeing this message on AO3 today:

The Archive will be offline for maintenance to fix the ongoing database issue, starting at 9am UTC on 7 Feb (what time is that for me?). We expect the maintenance to last approximately 6 hours. Thank you for your patience!

So let's not panic when it happens.

FYI, I've had good luck using this tool with FanFicFare (with a small it bit of effort):
https://github.com/yoori/flare-bypasser/
I don't think I've seen it mentioned here.

It's a newer tool to bypass Cloudflare and implements the same API as Flaresolver, so it's mostly a drop in replacement.

Except, I think I remember the current released build was broken, so I had to do a docker compose up --build to build from source.

And... it seems that postData was broken in their Flaresolver API, so you'll want this patch:
https://github.com/yoori/flare-bypas...ent-2571522399

I hope those issues go away in an updated release in the future. I've found it works much better than Flaresolverr.

AO3 went down again after being up

Looks like AO3's latest "check" bungs up the plugin. Can't download any stories from AO3 although I can read them. Here's what I get. V4.42.0

UPDATE: I can still download from AO3 by selecting "entire story" and then downloading from AO3, but that is a pain in the butt to have to rename them and then move them into Calibre's library.

I'm having the same issue despite updating both Calibre and FFF to the lstest versions....AO3's new security is the problem. Hope it doesn't go the way of FFN...
