All files seems to be broken or empty

Does downloading work for you right now?

For me all the files are very small, the same size, and don't open at all.

Yes, I'm checking this issue now... It is happening on my side also. Thanks for pointing tat out!

I have that this issue is also happening in the Python version of the library: https://github.com/alexgand/springer_free_books/issues/113 It seems like Springer added an additional security step with some kind of recaptcha.

That's really cool! I still need to investigate how to adapt your Python solution in R. Do you have any clue that helps me in that sense? Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for pointing to this file. I'm not exactly familiar with R, but from what I found, this should do it:

GET(download_url, set_cookies(`recaptcha` = "")) 

Let me know if it worked!

Awesome! I made many tests locally here and it worked, thank you so much, @mutantacule ! I'll fix that through a PR!

This issue is now reopened. It seems like springer tweaked the reCaptcha and the workaround is not working anymore :(
