If You Use AO3 to Download ebooks...

We also fixed the dreaded 500 error that came up if you were the first person to download a file!

Since I was apparently the first downloader about 50% of the time, this is especially happy news for me!

Oh, huzzah!

Haha, I was apparently the first downloader a bunch of the time too. (I'd been wondering what caused that.) I am grateful to the AO3 folks!

AHA! That explains all the mysterious errorings.

Thanks for this - I got the error often enough I went back to using PDF, but it seemed so random I assumed I was doing something silly, not that there was a bug!

have just tested this - the first one that I tried the 'download as pdf' rather than using the inbuilt print to pdf that my mac has, and I get an unknown error page instead. Back button and trying again gives the same error. So, back to my tried and true method! It would appear that my problem was possibly not the 'first downloader' issue.
