So, with all the weird things happening on ff.net, I am trying to download a story from their site and cannot. I have FanFiction Downloader 0.9.5 on my computer. When I go to download a story using FFD, the Captcha solver pops up and never loads. Can you help me? (my browser is GoogleChrome, also)

FFDL does not currently work on ffnet; the developer is having trouble dealing with the Cloudflare stuff.

FicLab and FicHub both still work, so I'd recommend using one of those.

Thanks so much for the ficlab recommendation. It's awesome. Does the other one work on mobile devices? I mostly read on my iPhone when I am on the bus or outside having a quick cigarette (I don't smoke in the house because of my child, and my Fiancé and quite frankly because I don't want my house to smell of smoke) but I mostly read on my phone when I am out and about, going to and from nursery/daycare to drop off/pick up my son. If I'm in the house I read on my kindle 10 or my iPad (I say 'my' but they became my little one's as soon as he was old enough to know how to tap a touch screen lol) so it would be good to have an option where by I don't have to download it onto my PC first then email it to myself and download it on my phone from the email if you get what I mean. It would be good to be able to download the fanfic directly onto whichever device I have got (I.E whichever one is charged that Riley isn't using, Riley is my little boy.)

FicLab can generate files which can be read on mobile devices (e.g. ePub, PDF etc), but as it is a browser plugin, it does not officially support running the actual plugin on mobile devices - so normally, you'd still need to transfer the files there. Many users find that saving them to Google Drive / OneDrive / iCloud etc. is a suitable option for them, as that way the syncing can be largely automatic. However, if you have an Android device, it is still technically possible to run the browser plugin there in an alternative browser which supports desktop plugins (e.g. Kiwi Browser), which will allow you to download directly on the device.

Fichub is just a website, and as such should work on all mobile devices.
