I'm not sure how to translate "快转" but it looks different than the normal retweet and essentially has the behaviour of being a user's post currently.

Not everyone uses this 'fast retweet' afaik, but this user https://weibo.com/u/1876856920 uses it liberally. Gallery-dl is unable to recognize this sort of retweet, and when downloading, it treats it as if its a post by the retweeting user (downloaded without -o 'retweets=true'). This behaviour is somewhat expected as the url to the post is identical to the one that the user posted. I suggest ctrl+f 快转 for the offending tweets

tl;dr 'fast retweet' basically puts someone else's post on their wall directly and not via a retweet. Gallery-dl downloads it as expected, but without recognizing its still something like a retweet.

I've only been able to isolate this recently.

Hoping for a fix.
