4.1 batch fetching/update seems to be taking longer than 3.9, rolled back to 3.9

also once timer runs out on 4.1 the fetch is immediately considered incomplete even if the fetch is still ongoing, 3.9 doesnt so planning on staying here for a while.

  • version 4 has a different fetch method, now it follows the gallery-dl behavior which is more reliable and supports resume with the cursor, the advantage is that you can fetch further from the media displayed on the twitter web.
  • If you want to import database version 3 to version 4, you need to use version 3.9 and export everything to a json file.
