Has R34xxx stopped retrieving posts in the last couple days for you guys?

[Hypocriticalintrest]

I thought I was possibly having problems on my own system or program but after resetting and updating my downloader to a new version I still am not getting it to pull posts from rule34xxx. When I search a tag it returns No Posts for everything

[tailmonsissy-lgtm]

same here

[Hypocriticalintrest]

shoot.
this is by far my biggest downloader. hopefully it was just something that needs a new version update to fix. idk if gelbooru also not working. Paheal only returned 70 pics when i searched something that should have 22k.

r34xxx is my best download site for getting everything and tagging it all

Always returns "No Post".

good news, I found out how to fix this problem, you need to click Edit and then change the XML to HTML.

[Hypocriticalintrest]

AHHH so Close! this appeared to work, except it doesn't seem to download the pictures. idk if this is telling it to only find the url links to the pics or what. it only will get results for 1 page (42 posts) at a time, it seems to be counting every post as a separate page, and when downloading many it will get paused by too many requests to r34, skipping a handful when that happens. i'll wait out this download request to see if it downloads pics after it has thought about each one.

AAAHHHHH ok trying to download the same list of 500+ pics a second time without clearing the list actually Started Downloading Pictures Again, but it is having some thinking problems where it needs to pause and is Skipping some posts.
Alright after telling it to download the same prepped list of 690 items over 3 times. it thinks it has got them all. I only have 488 pictures downloaded and can spot some missing ones. at the same time r34 thinks there are only 647 posts with this tag so perhaps some of it is deleted posts that it got confused with. either way it has failed to capture every post using this method when it would reliably download everything, even deleted posts still there but hidden, before this problem with XML appeared.

[Hypocriticalintrest]

going very slowly downloading 42 at a time, which takes hitting dL, it intantly says done but wait for it to find urls on each picture, then downloading the list again or multiple times Has been collecting all the posts it missed when it was big bulk.
Very Slow but limping along

edit: i ended up with 649 after a long period

[Hypocriticalintrest]

ah hell. the slow xml process was working this week but today for some reason i haven't had xml pull posts at all but html can pull a page at a time again. but when you go to download it wants to crash and only downloads the first pic if you tell it to keep running.

[Zestrum]

The same problem. Maybe one of the programmers can fix it?
