    Used this downloader yesterday and today to download a bunch of long out of print kids books that I can't wait to read and pass along to all my friends with kiddos! Really worked very well, will definitely use again if I find something in the archives I need but can't find anywhere for sale.

    Extension reports"TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource..
    Please contact the developer." It worked fine with previous Firefox versions. Since Firefox was updated to 134 it constantly reports the error above.

    works perfectly and makes life a lot easier. just one question: is there any way to convert the downloaded PDF to another format like EPUB after downloading? I haven't been able to do it, my converter just hangs when I try.

    every page of the downloaded pdf file is an image indeed, so it's no sense to convert to other format

    Thanks for this extremely useful add-on, which worked fine until today! Now, in any attempt to download a borrowed book, I get the message: "File download was blocked. Please contact the developer.". It may be irrelevant, but the messages started, after updating Firefox to v. 133.0.

    Update: It works smoothly again, thanks for fixing it so quickly!

    It is caused by firefox new version 133. will be solved soon.

    i think the ext. got blocked by the "archive.org" admins, when i click download it give me this "File download was blocked.
    Please contact the developer."
    thanks for everything though and I hope you can, soooooon, get past the block.

    Since Internet Archive's hack, these extensions no longer work, Internet Archive Downloader and the CORS Patch for Internet Archive Downloader. An earlier URL hack (archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&format=pdf&redirect=1) also stopped working. Any updates or links to other 1-hour borrow downloads would be awesome.

    The Chrome plugin works flawlessly, but this Firefox 'port' at first wouldn't, giving me a Blocked error message when I clicked on download. It apparently has something to do with Cross Origin restrictions.

    I tried several things, including Private mode, but in the end the only thing that worked for me (in standard mode too) was the "Allow CORS: Access-Control-Allow-Origin" by Muyor plugin. Disable uBlock Origin or whatever for Archive.org just in case.

    Please add this tip to your plugins description. So far 2 succcessful artbook PDF downloads at Max Resolution. And thank you for creating this. I wish there was a way to grab the original Jp2s instead of Jpg, but I haven't found one yet (not a coder).

    The extension for Firefox was not perfect. Integration of "allow cors" function into the extension does not always work for all Firefox releases on all platforms. The reason is unknown. Fewer people encounter the problem. Applying a thirdparty "cors" extension is an alternative. Or you can use Chrome instead.

    It works great! Many Thanks to the Developer!
    It would be much better, though, if the Developer could actually create am .EXE software for doing this in stead of mere Browser's Extension. Also, Browser's downloads could more stable.

    Fewer people has the requirement of an exe for windows so there is no such plan. And if you have any questions or suggestions please post on the extension support site (github.com/elementdavv/internet_archive_downloader/issues)
