2024-11-06 ExUno 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.

2024-10-10 Firefox user 18285487 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).
2024-10-08 D31an 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.
