The issue is that you have no internet/ IG blocked you IP for a second / IG server is down.
That can happen alot during the day ! and you will have a blank window, so instead of getting error we should wait and refresh the page until it visible. @uluQulu made some changes no ?

[ManfredHamlescher]

@sionking Yes uR right, it's traffic slowness, that is the problem. The Requests does take too long and instead of skipping and running it does crash.

[sionking]

Who want to fix it ? I will give a try but better do it right

[HCWcoder]

Thanks alot for @sionking and @manfredhamlescher

Yes this is happening only while trying to get the big lists

I hope we can find a fix or delat for that.

Thanks alot!!

Hi
I tried to reduce the time sleep in get_following and get_followers as :
sleep_t = sc_rolled2
instead of
sleep_t = sc_rolled6
it seems to be working...

[fgisslen]

@redasef that works sometimes for me but last time that didn't work either.

[fgisslen]

@uluQulu is this something you could look at?

[uluQulu]

Hey guys
I see that people are having different kinds of errors in this thread.
So, in which problem you think I could look at?

@fgisslen,
Post all of the troubleshoot information I will need, hopefully will help you solve it.
