IAFD implemented CloudFlare, which broke all scraping "robots". Their FAQ is extremely aggressive. From their terms of service:

Use of robots (Teleport Pro, WGet, etc.) that do not comply with our robots.txt (and cloak themselves to boot) will result in the blocking of your IP address or possibly your entire subnet. If we catch you, we will ruin it for you :-). Use the database online... please don't archive it for your personal use.

Doubt the Java scraper will ever work with IAFD again. :(

If anyone was able to help create a alternate version to iafd happy to help and have it open so can then add as a scraping option on here

@lukewoodau Our developer was able to get around CloudFlare. Here is our IAFD Plex Agent. Hope this helps. https://github.com/CodyBerenson/PGMA-Modernized/tree/master/IAFD.bundle
