    Well, I'm glad the update came in, and it was working as it should've until [url

    Ah god, and here I thought I wouldn't see that error again :|
    One thing I'm sure is that it doesn't come from the Kanji. I've created the config.ini in unicode for that purpose. If you didn't delete the config.ini and created one on your own, this shouldn't be the cause.
    If you don't mind, may I ask you to screen me the config screen for the website which causes this error? you can leave the website url and the RSS url blank for the screenshot if you like.
    Also, does this error occurs only with this site (ie, only when the status and progress bar indicates : "Fetching : TheWebsiteInQuestion") or some others too?
    Do you change anything between the times it works and the times it crashes, or is it really random without touching anything?
    Also, how many sites do you have in the fetching list? (I doubt it comes from that, but I must scope all possibilities :( )
    I'll try to recreate the problem on my machine, otherwise its gonna be really hard to pinpoint that error :x

    As for the song, it's not from the QUALIA album, it's a separate vocal collection ;)

    Again, thanks for your time. It's hard to spot bugs if I don't have people who reports the issues they got ;)

    It's fixed; I have no idea why it is, but it's fixed (it was still occurring until I tried messing with it, which I didn't have much time to do last night thanks to school).

    1) I have no idea what config.ini is (in other words, I don't think I messed with it).

    2) http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/xx275/Jumpsuit… Note: the link tags are wrong, it took me until I started checking to realize this thanks to the site's messy as hell coding (http://www.tokyotosho.info/rss.php). When I realized this, I thought this might've been the issue, but testing with other sites with the same type of link tag, they still worked.

    2.5) It was only occurring with this entry. I had other entries that used TokyoTosho and this was the only one to do it. When I deleted this entry to test those other entries from TokyoTosho I mentioned, and the error didn't occur with those. I added this entry back after testing this, I even entered everything exactly as I did with the last one, and the error didn't occur. It seems like it was a completely random occurrence.

    2.8) When the error used to happen, it would happen at ~80% through checking.

    3) It was random; I didn't even touch it until it started doing this.

    4) I have 19 on my list, though it was 21 at the time of the incident. I tried setting it to 21 again just to see if that was in fact the problem, but I had no issues with that.

    So…I guess this error's gone? I have no idea why it started doing it, and I'm sorry that I don't seeing as it's a bug you'd want to fix. If you somehow have some insight as to why this happened, it'd be nice to know.

    (I could've sworn the song "self dialogue" from Qualia sounded a lot like that remix, but actually comparing it, I guess you're right.)

      Thanks for your detailed post ;)
      The config on your screen is correct, so the problem doesn't come from here.
      Subscript used with non-array variable means that, for example, program is trying to insert a string into an integer variable (here, an array into a string), that kind of stuff (and ofc it causes an error). I've rechecked the code and I can't really find where it could be (yet).
      The only reason I can find to the problem occurring "randomly" without changing anything is when the website adds a new torrent entry, which must cause some kind of a change in the way the program fetches the data, and then causes the error.
      The 80% you mention is actually quite interesting. "If" the error occurs again, and if you can, screen the anifetch window with the position of the progress bar, and save the source code of the page the program was trying to fetch. This way we'll get to know exactly where the program goes boom (at which entry, to be exact).
      I honestly don't think it comes from the entries, but more like a variable that isn't initialized properly or something like that (and if it's true, then it may also depend on which site the program was before the website that causes the error, quite the hell).
      I will clean up the fetch code part, add some more variables re-initializations, and try to find where the "non-array error" comes from. Even if the occurrence chance is less than 1%, the error does exist, so I've got to fix it :( (I'll take that opportunity to move the online updates to the new server, which should be more stable).

      Thanks for your time!

        That "if" became a "when" if you know what I mean.

        The interesting things about this are:

        a) It's the same source as last time (TokyoTosho; which I spelled Toukyou for the lulz)

        b) The "~80%" I said is a ~25% for this torrent.

        As for the Copy of the Source of the page, this was the best I could do. There's one less torrent entry on that then there should be, because when I went to get the source, another torrent had already been added.

        The top entry is probably the culprit in this scenario (the Sora no Otoshimono Forte one. Apparently it hates me because I hated the show's first season.)

          Ah, awesome, thanks!
          Gotta have a look at this.
