The site is unresponsive for a very long time before it finally gives an error saying simply that it ran into an error and to try again later.

I'm assuming you're downloading from fanfiction.net. Looks like they've activated Cloudflare's DDOS protection, which is used as a way to stop bots from scraping the pages. I'll have to investigate if there's a solution for this. Please wait, thank you!

I'm glad fanfiction.net has cloudflare for preventing actually malicious attacks, but they also don't have a functional download system built in STILL. I've found FicSave especially helpful for mega long fics, fics with a zillion chapters, and especially ones with both. Thank you so much for working on this project!
