Explanation of Fanbox's failure to crawl:

Recently, Fanbox has restricted high-speed crawling and downloading, causing many users to fail to crawl. The downloader has submitted a new version to avoid crawling failures by slowing down the crawling speed, but it needs to wait for review, which usually takes about 3 days.

Fixed the "Show larger thumbnails" feature

Pixiv's web code changes caused the "larger thumbnails" to display abnormally. I fixed it a few days ago and tried to reduce the frequency of this problem. The review was slow this time and it was passed today (v17.6.1).
