Problems with a download from a specific fanfiction page:
- Detailed description of your problem

When I paste some of the ao3 links to FFDL, sometimes it shows that no chapter is available. (Please see the attachment). This happens since a few days ago.

- One or several links to a story with this problem

Oh, good, it's not just me. I added a lot of plugins to my Calibre this weekend and thought maybe I'd broken it, but it only seems to be AO3. FFN still works fine for me. I'm guessing maybe AO3 updated something in their site mechanics?

Win 7 Pro, SP1 64bit, laptop
FFDL 0.8.12
Calibre 2.32.1 [64bit]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1040375 (one of several)

Shows 1 of 0 chapters, just like the OP's screenshot, but author and title are blank (and I keep mine in HTML rather than convert to another format). The destination folder ends up with a 1 KB file labeled " - - - In Progress - .html"

I also get only the Title page and nothing else when I try to download from AO3. I hope this gets fixed or a work around gets posted soon.

I to can't use FFDL with AO3 I just get the title page as well. Is there any news on when we might get an update to fix this problem?
