Here is the workaround as I have been facing the same issue for many months now, and no new fixrelease has come since.

Follow the steps from Filip here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subdownloader/+bug/790753/comments/19

in order to patch the GUI of our favorite tool.

Very simple:

leafpad /usr/share/subdownloader/gui/main.py

(with admin rights)

find the line :

osHttpRequests.download('http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/download/file/%s.gz' %sub.getIdFileOnline(), destinationPath)

and replace it with:

self.OSDBServer.DownloadSubtitles({sub.getIdFileOnline():destinationPath})

Save and Enjoy Cheers.

  • you may change leafpad by the text editor of your choice: nano, gedit, vi ...

The answer is here:

100 downloads for 12 hours per IP, there is no limit I think, but out search result is limited to 250 results

  • Can you include what it states about Unable to download subtitle XXXXXX.srt in the link you provided by editing your answer?
