Large favorite download failure

Hello, I posted some time ago about not being able to download my favorites after the switch to the new site. Unfortunately the problem still persists to this day. Now, I'll be the first to admit, I have a ton of favorites (over 13k) but it seems to work if I reload the page a number of times, at least until it hits 63%. There it hangs no matter what I do or how many times I refresh, open new tabs, etc...

Any idea if there is a fix? Do I need to trim down the list some? Or can it somehow let me break up the download into a couple different pulls?

Thanks for the help!

Thank you for reporting this, I will have to look into this. I will come back to you after the weekend, and hopefully with a fix.

Sometimes it helps to restart it a couple of times, as the images are being pulled from our storage server and put in cache on the current httpd server, and as this process takes longer than taking it directly from the cache.

Another option is that I will add a function to break up these downloads into multiple zips, maybe this option is one of the best. I will add it on my to-do list, if I find time I will try to add this as a "fall back".

Thanks for the support. I've been trying the restart thing for months with no luck, it always gets stuck a little over halfway. It could be a problem with a specific picture, some of my favorites are from years ago and I know pics are sometimes taken down or lost for some reason. There used to be a "fix favorites" button or something like that which I assumed removed bad links? I could very much be wrong.

Regardless, thanks for looking into it!

This is still on my todo list, haven't forgotten it. Just to let you know!

Thanks Diz, appreciate the effort!

Started working on some new features, so hopefully include the fix for your issue too in that.

I found something interesting. I added a few more favorites and noticed the count I could get up to went that much farther than before, essentially any new favorites I added it was able to queue for download. However, it then pauses and no matter how long I wait it can't get any further. This tells me its not an issue with the total, but more likely a single picture that is causing the problem? I could just be guessing here, but that feels right.

Regardless, thanks again for the work, curious to see how the new features work. Have a good day!

EDIT I may have found it. Currently it fails on the 8602 picture, I was able to get to that page on my favorites and its a dead link. It won't let me paste the link calls it grey listed? Here it is in non link form: whatboyswant.com / babes / show / ?c=p-52418

I can't seem to figure out how to remove this from my favorites list since the link goes nowhere. I assume if I can untag that from favorites, the download queuing will continue. Any ideas?
