Hi @razahaider,
You not the first report the issue. So that why @dstftw mark this issue duplicate. Plus you report also not follow the given bug template.

Btw PR patch abe8766 has been made for new release. Please update.

or else, as work around ..do append --user-agent paratemer like

--user-agent 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A403 Safari/8536.25'

• try change with other user agent. Don't just CP and use.

Should be working fine for old version. Good luck
