When using Eagle to collect images from foreign websites like Dribbble, Behance, Pinterest, some users may encounter "download timeout" or "file corruption" prompts. This is usually caused by network access restrictions or proxy settings. To resolve this issue, you can refer to the following two methods:

1. New Feature in Browser Extension (Recommended)

Eagle browser extension version 3.1.0 and above introduces the new "Download via Browser" feature. When this feature is enabled, download tasks will be handled directly by the browser, utilizing its network access capabilities to complete collections. This provides an effective solution for users who only have access capabilities within the browser, especially when using browser proxies. Additionally, this feature can reduce network traffic consumption and improve download efficiency.

How to enable the "Download via Browser" feature:

Ensure your Eagle browser extension is updated to version 3.1.0 or higher.
In your browser, click the Eagle extension icon.
Enter the extension settings, find and enable the "Download via Browser" option.

Once enabled, you can smoothly collect foreign website images in your browser, avoiding download failures caused by Eagle application's inability to access resources.

2. VPN Solution (Alternative)

If you are not using the latest feature of the browser extension, or prefer to adopt other methods to solve the problem, you can consider the following approaches:

Use system-level proxy tools: Some users' proxy tools are limited to browsers only and cannot provide network access capabilities for other applications in the system. This results in normal access to relevant websites in the browser, but "download timeout" issues when saving images through Eagle. It is recommended to use system-level proxy tools such as Shadowsocks, Lantern, etc., to ensure all applications including Eagle can normally access foreign network resources.
Check proxy tool stability: Proxy servers may have instability issues, causing poor network connections. It is recommended to try switching to other servers, as proxy internet services usually provide servers from multiple countries to choose from when purchased.
Ensure normal network environment: If you are not using any proxy tools and cannot access relevant websites, it may be due to network environment restrictions. It is recommended to consult friends around you who can smoothly access these websites to obtain suitable network solutions.

Through the above methods, you should be able to effectively resolve "download timeout" or "file corruption" issues encountered when collecting foreign website images. It is recommended to prioritize updating and enabling the new feature of the Eagle browser extension for a better user experience.
