Anytime I try to download a story from AO3 I get this error:"HTTP Error in FFF '525 Server Error: <none>". Any idea what is going on here?

I currently use calibre v9.2.1 and FFF v4.54.0 and the last successful download from AO3 was at 2025-12-19.

Are you using open in browser/browser cache?
Or the .gay mirror option?

Last few times i checked direct still wasn’t working since they had to adjust their site late last year.
If using the browser make sure to manually login beforehand too.

Clear browser cache, check fff personal.ini settings for all the browser cache stuff for ao3.
