fanfiction.net Cloudflare Errors

[Jim Miller]

It looks like ffnet has increased their Cloudflare blocking level again.

As far as I know, there isn't anything more we can do in FFF than there
was the last time this happened.

I suggest reviewing these resources:

If I'm using the browser cache option to download/update multiple FFN fics, how many can the cache hold. For example I generally update 15-20 fics a day and I do it at the same time. 

If I use the WebtoEpub extension to spin through all chapters (regardless of if I;m updating or downloading), upto how many chapters will the cache hold before it starts deleting? Is it solely a function of time or also of space. I'm using Edge if it matters

FFF applies browser_cache_age_limit, but you can set it higher or for
'all time':

## It's common for browser cached files to be kept for several hours
## or more. You can limit the age of cached files FFF will use from
## browser_cache_path with browser_cache_age_limit. Only cached files
## that were downloaded within 'browser_cache_age_limit' hours will be
## used. If set to -1, all cached files will be used.
browser_cache_age_limit:4.0

The age limit is a performance measure--you can easily have many
thousands of entries in your cache that FFF has to scan for story
chapter URLs.

Your browser has a cache size limit in it somewhere, but I doubt it will
be an issue if that's all your doing for that period of time. Text
pages are small vs images, movies, etc, and will be more recent.
