[Exhentai] URL of the next image when the run gets interrupted

[a84r7a3rga76fg]

If anything interrupts the run by CTRL+C, getting banned or whatever, can the URL of the next image be given? If the URL is a gallery with 100 files and 54 files were downloaded, then the URL of the next image would be the 55th file.

Just noticed that it does give the URL to the next image when getting banned but for some reason it happens very rarely. That's a bug.

This is what it says when you get banned and fails at giving the URL of the next image of an incomplete gallery download [exhentai][error] Unable to download data: JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

gallery-dl will attempt the first 54 again and assuming you have an archive db setup, skip them and start downloading on the 55th. I find anything that's already been downloaded and getting skipped goes pretty quickly.

You'd get banned If you were to do that on a gallery with about 1000 files if you're not using a century long cooldown.

I'm not familiar with Exhentai, but perhaps when you run it again after the interruption use a --range flag?

That could work but would be more convenient with an URL to the next image.

Exhentai bans your IP (or account if you're a paid user) if you don't use century long delays between each HTML/API request.

archive db doesn't work with --zip cmd.
