Description:
Many books have been set to only be "previewable" and "available to patrons with print disabilities" with following consequences:
The "Archive.org-Downloader" script unsuccessfully tries to borrow and defaults to "This book doesn't need to be borrowed" and proceeds to download a few available/previewable pages and a bunch of images from redirections to "https://archive.org/bookreader/static/preview-unavailable.png"
I'm not sure if brute forcing many page calls leads to denial of access, but I think it has to be done one at a time since after opening a few direct page links the first one of them restarts redirecting to unavailable.png

possible solution to issue #65 & issue #88 (will require some coding)
Description:
Many books have been set to only be "previewable" and "available to patrons with print disabilities" with following consequences:
The "Archive.org-Downloader" script unsuccessfully tries to borrow and defaults to "This book doesn't need to be borrowed" and proceeds to download a few available/previewable pages and a bunch of images from redirections to "https://archive.org/bookreader/static/preview-unavailable.png"
example book:
https://archive.org/details/electricnetworks0000unse_l8w2
example of an unavailable image from page 300 (leaf 326):
https://ia902509.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderPreview.php?id=electricnetworks0000unse_l8w2&subPrefix=electricnetworks0000unse_l8w2&itemPath=/22/items/electricnetworks0000unse_l8w2&server=ia902509.us.archive.org&page=leaf326&fail=preview&&scale=1&rotate=0
example of redirection:
https://archive.org/bookreader/static/preview-unavailable.png
forcing a call to direct link to the leaf 326 (n325):
https://archive.org/details/electricnetworks0000unse_l8w2/page/n325/mode/1up
redrects to page 300:
https://archive.org/details/electricnetworks0000unse_l8w2/page/300/mode/1up
after that, the image link (leaf 326) temporarily stops redirecting:
https://ia902509.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderPreview.php?id=electricnetworks0000unse_l8w2&subPrefix=electricnetworks0000unse_l8w2&itemPath=/22/items/electricnetworks0000unse_l8w2&server=ia902509.us.archive.org&page=leaf326&fail=preview&&scale=1&rotate=0
