During the download, sometime (around 10%) the download fail and return a HTTP Error mostly 403: Forbiden, but other as well.
Sometime during the download or suring the initial requests, and SSL error is return. An ugly work around is commented at the begining of the script if you having issue with SSL Error, just uncomment it.
Sometime, the json containing all information about the image will not include its file format, so a file without extention is created. It can be repared by adding a ".jpg" on the file itself most of the time. A bugfix for this would be to check if the arguent ["ity"] of the json is set and if not, check the link of the image and get the fileformat from there.
If you use '"' in a value of an input argument, the script will fail. Please use only alphanumerical and "_- "

File deleted by the viewer can't be recovered.
Images are resized to fit the window size.
