Can you show me the error traceback ?

The traceback should look like this

[INFO] Checking url = 433e77d2-5a58-48a3-95b8-e3c02f309255

It would been better if you give me full logs.

After further debugging, it seems your windows system locale is set to Japanese (Correct me if i'm wrong).

This is the same error traceback as yours if i set manually the file encoding to "cp932" which is Japanese windows character encoding.

I've submit a patch that would fix this issue, you can test it by downloading a patched version in https://github.com/mansuf/mangadex-downloader/actions/runs/4968080319.

You can download it once the CI shows success, and the files is available under "Artifacts" section
