ATF Downloader Doesnt Work

[sashapony]

your ATF downloader currently seems to be busted due to the atf team adding ddos support to their website. hydrus is incapable of downloading anything from there anymore

Seconded. This downloader is broken (error 503). Please fix.

Will this fix this the issue? Second, how do you actually do this?

I never had to get cookies the first time i started using this... can i just reset the downloader or something?

I'd recommend getting hydrus companion setup. it speeds up transferring website cookies to being one button click. the default way of getting your cookies depends on your browser. What browser do you have?

The cookie shows that you already solved the captcha recently, so any time you go to ATF and have to redo that captcha it means your cookie expired (both for your browser and hydrus).

The captcha is specifically for preventing bots from ddos'ing them with with mass requests. this is the samething hybrus does, just less with the intent to harm.

I use Chrome. To clarify, there isn't a captcha. It just makes you wait, though I'm guessing that doesn't matter because what you said makes sense.

So, Hydrus Companion. I found it on github, looks like a browser extension. Before I install this, however, the features look to me like it's doing the opposite of what I want. (Namely, to browse multiple sites and have it download preset searches without having to think about it). I'm trying to avoid the extra overhead.

1. How do I get the cookie from Chrome?
2. Is there a way to update my cookie in Hydrus Network directly with what I just got from point 1?
3. Do I have to do this every time I want to run the subscription for ATF?

Sadly I don't use chrome, I use vivaldi.

but this should work,

if you install this addon, and follow the setup guide to connect it to your hydrus, there is an option to send site cookies straight to hydrus.
