Yesterday I tried to download all their manga DB by simply using HHTrack with "https://www.mangaupdates.com/series" URL, as all manga are within. Before I went to bed it had scanned 70k+ links and the folder was 9GB size. It had a ton of the manga pages downloaded, but when I woke up, it said "Task Finished" and most files were deleted from the folder, and now it's 2GB size with most folders empty.

Any idea why would it delete what it downloaded?

Also, I'm new with HHTrack or downloading sites at all. Any reliable way to download their full Manga DB? I'd love if I could use their advanced search offline.

Conveniently, both all the manga and advanced search are behind the /series, so downloading this url succefully should make it work right?

This is the advanced search URL:

https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/advanced-search

And this any random manga:

https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/ygablqw/tsugumomo

How would you go about this? Should I keep using HHtrack or is there a more suitable program? I'd love to know if there's any configuration option I'm missing and should add for this task.

Thanks!
