Troubleshooting - Jeffchen54/KMP-Kemono-Downloader GitHub Wiki

1. Program appears frozen during downloading or stops after a few downloads:

If the program stops displaying any output and appears to be frozen, please follow the following steps:

Verify you have an internet connection.
Verify that you can access Kemono party on a web browser.
If the above are true, it usually means that your downloads are being halted from the site from downloading too fast. Please use the -t switch to reduce the number of download threads.
If your issue is not fixed, please submit an issue on GitHub.

2. Password protected directory:

atool: ... cmdlist_func = <function extract_7z at 0x000001DB5A894700> 
patool: ... kwargs={'password': None} args=('C:/Users/chenj/Downloads/KMPDownloader/pass_2.7z', None, 'C:\\7-Zip\\7z.EXE', -1, False,       'C:\\Users\\chenj\\Downloads\\KMPDownloader')
ERROR: Data Error in encrypted file. Wrong password? : pass.7z

Zip is password protected. The file will be skipped and will have to be manually extracted. Note that the top 2 lines are normal, only the 'ERROR' line needs attention. ***Hint - look at post_comments.txt or post_content.txt to see if the password is there

3. Path too long:

ERROR: Can not open output file : The system cannot find the path specified. : c:/Users/chenj/Downloads/KMPDownloader/Northlandscapes Photography/FREE Astro  Night Sky Photography Lightroom Presets Pay-What-You-Want by Northlandscapes Photography from Gumroad  Kemono/Lightroom 4-6 and Classic CC before Apr 2018 (.lrtemplate)\Northlandscapes - Astrophotography\Virgo.lrtemplate

Extract file length is too long and zip file could not be extracted. Extraction is done on your computer's temp directory. More information about temp directory can be found here: http://sales.commence.com/commencekb/Article.aspx?id=10068. Adjust the temp path directory to be shorter or you can extract the file manually.

4. File does not exists:

CRITICAL:root:(404)Link provided cannot be downloaded from, possibly a dead third party link: https://kemono.party/attachments/discord/634594002624184360/634659046678593536/772072375331717131/-10.png

File could not be downloaded due to HTML error. Can be caused by many cases. In this example, the file provided by Kemono's API does not exists and was probably deleted.

5. Corrupted Japanese Zip Contents:

Files look like this?

6. Weird / Corrupted file names

Sometimes, Kemono's serverside file names are bugged and may lead to files such as the ones seen below:

To solve this, do not use the '-e' switch. Remove it and rerun the program, the program will automatically rename all files and you will get this instead:
