Over the past few days, albums are downloading 0 byte files

Hi,
Let's start with a sincere 'thank you!' for a great shell script. I use it regularly and truly think it's a great script.
Over the past few days, I've been noticing that albums I attempt to download are returning 0 byte files.
Running the script with the -d parameter, I see this:
imgur -d http://imgur.com/a/MXTjA

over and over, one for every image in the album.
If I manually browse to the album in a regular web browser, the images are correctly displayed.
I'm guessing that imgur has made some sort of change, but am not certain.
Anyway, here's hoping you're working on a fix, but on the off chance you hadn't been told about this or if it is is the first time it's being reported, I wanted you to know.
Thanks again,

I'm having the same issue. I was actually using an older version of the imgur script and the error response I got was that the URLs were malformatted. I upgraded to the most recent version of the script and got what Ray saw.

Thank you so much for posting this. I tested the latest version only on my mac which doesn't seem to have this error.
I'm going to apply a few of the patches others have recommended, when I do, please update to the latest version and test with the album again.
