it's not working for any one its the issue with kemono even you try to download manually from browser it will not download

[BananaMan600]

Thanks for the info. Does it not work for all posts, or was I just unlucky? How long does this problem exist?

[Yuvi9587]

No idea it is not working for any post you can't download any file type and no info how long the problem will exist

[123ika]

@Yuvi9587 you can physically browse to the page in browser and save thumbnail/preview images just not the full resolution ones.

Can you add some kind of workaround that scrapes and downloads these preview/thumbs without relying on the API? for now while everything is just broken.

[Yuvi9587]

Bro there is check box i. The app "Download thumbnail Only" just check that and run the download

[123ika]

Doesn't work, the app can't even fetch the pages, try testing everything out, does it work for you?

[R2008KK]

Has anyone emailed the Kemono developers yet? Is there any news about what happened?

[Yuvi9587]

Its working for me what version are you using

[Tak-Blet]

The latest version is installed, but it doesn't work through VPN either

[Yuvi9587]

The full-resolution images aren’t downloading, even if you use a VPN, because the site’s download links (like n1.kemono.cr/data) are currently down. So no matter what you do, you won’t be able to download any files until those links are fixed. However, you can still download images from img.kemono.cr/thumbnail/data by enabling the ‘Download thumbnails only’ checkbox in the app.

[Tak-Blet]

I see. Since you said it worked I thought it was on my end. Didn't realize you meant thumbnails though. I'll just wait for a fix

[nitori-kapashiro]

Kemono has had issues with the servers and APIs as long as I've used them, however this has been an issue where we can't download full size image or external files for about 2 weeks now. I have heard devs aren't responding and part of the community is thinking of making a fork of kemono, idk about coomer as in don't use it but its by the same people, can assume its the same shit.

[jmanzanaresv]

even on the site are not responding any link, hope admins come back and solve that or ate least someone come up with some alternative

[SeleDreams]

Personally, even if i just download the thumbnails, it behaves weirdly, like, it will download some images fine... but then delete them after displaying an error "Save Fail for '[the image]': database is locked".
like, the image was properly downloaded, it just for some reason deleted it after.

Can you provide the log message
