    So there is no update of HDH possible / planned? There were changes to Hathi in the past that you always had an answer for. We love you. :-(

    The new download helper would help the society a lot. Please develop the same for us. We all would be very grateful.

    I knew you would return and that it will be possible somehow for you to update your tool to a working version (I was just thinking that if DTA - clearly an inferior method - works it can't be impossible). Take your time and, once again, thank you so much for not letting us down :-)

    Here we are: HDH v1.2.3 is released.
    Thank you for your patience. Special thanks also to my little children, without whom the release would have been completed much earlier ;-)

    1) The new update is not able to check "Protected by copyright Law" books and gets stuck at 1%

    2) Can you please share an example links of image pages without the watermark, it would be really helpful.

    3) The downloading gets stuck at 99% (Last page of the books) many times.

      -> 1) That should not happen. I've crated a ticket:
      https://sourceforge.net/p/hathidownloadhelper/tickets/44/

      -> 2) These are just images without the watermarks (timestamp, logos, etc.). The images are "cut together" from the original data so that there should be no artefacts or loss of quality. You can try it out by selecting any book, selecting Images as the download format and downloading e.g. only the first 10 pages with the "remove watermarks" option active

      -> 3) There is a pending ticket regarding this issue:
      https://sourceforge.net/p/hathidownloadhelper/tickets/37/

    Any update on any of the above issues.

    If you could provide the URL for the images without the watermark, as the alternate method you have shared link of has watermarks(https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/imgsrv/image?id={ID NUMBER};seq={number};width=2000)

    It would be really helpful for us and the downloader many times keeps on finalizing the download and then stops shows the item as cancelled.

    Unfortunately I have to disappoint you. As far as I know there is no way to download image files without a watermark.
    You may can take a closer look at ticket #26

    Just to let you know, I'm trying to download some books that I know for sure are not in copyright, but I keep getting "in-copyright" and I'm unable to download the book I'm looking for. Any advice, people? Have a good day!

    Still dealing with the same problem. I know for sure a book is not in copyright, but HD Downloader keeps giving me an "'in copyright" message and I can't download anything... I'll appreciate any help on this
