First things first, thanks for posting the log 🙃
This isn't a general issue as ExH hi-res pictures downloads works fine on my side.
Considering e-h / exH have put limitations to how much you can download in one day, you might have reached your daily limit, especially, if you download as many full res pages as you posted in your screenshot.

I advise you to wait for 24 hours and see if the situation gets better. If you're in a big hurry, you may try getting these books using the torrents provided by exH.
Thank you for your reply. But I don't think that's the cause of the problem. I know EXH has set a download limit, and I haven't reached the download limit. Also, I've been having this problem for more than 5 days and haven't been able to download one in the meantime
I have new information. Problem only occurs in certain galleries, not in whole EXHen. And if you change the download method to 'download while reading', the number of pages is recognized, but the page is not downloaded, so an error occurs. At this time, when you click 'reanalyze the work', it says you can't find the image.
I found a better clue. Errors do not always occur when downloading from a particular gallery. An error occurs when you enable the 'Download at High Resolution' feature in the download settings. When you see signs with low resolution often downloaded, you can expect the following. When downloading a high-resolution image in an environment where the Internet connection is not fast, the application judges it as an error and marks it as a "network error" and passes the download of the image.
Thanks for your detailed feedback.
That issue is clearly linked to hi-res pictures downloads, yes. However, the error message you got has nothing to do with connection speed - it means the exHentai server served an empty stream instead of an image. If it isn't linked to your image limit, then it might be some form of anti-leech mechanism.
I wonder if using the app's download speed limiter would work for that case. Could you try setting it to, say, 400 KBps and see if it still happens?
I got an error both when I didn't use the app download speed limiter and when I used it and set the setting to 100, 200, 400, 800kb. And this is information that can be helpful. A comparison between a normal gallery download and an error-prone gallery download. You can see that the speed is very low when an error occurs.
Thanks for the feedback. Could you send me the full name of an error-prone gallery?

You can find it easily by searching by author name.
Errors also occur in galleries of works in the series such as this game.
I managed to repro that issue on my side.
Here's what the exHentai server actually returns : Downloading original files of this gallery requires GP, and you do not have enough.
=> We've been focusing on image limits so far, but we should've considered Gallery Points as well 😅 Can you check if your GP count is low when you encounter that problem?
I haven't done any activities, so I won't have a GP. Come to think of it, from the end of July, galleries that are more than a year old must consume GPs, and I think this is the problem. The original quality gallery that I recently downloaded well was just uploaded. I think I misunderstood because the cause of the error was only the network.

That must be it. Thanks for clarifying!

Understandable; I did the same at first.
I've modified the app to make such problems more explicit rather than just displaying a network issue.
