Tested the viewer and removed it.
SLister plugin together with SumatraPDF displays EPUBs better, faster
and has more functions.

I did not know that SumatraPDF supports epub.
Maybe I am too hurried.

Now I compared two plugins, so:

SumatraPDF always displays the contents on the virtual pages, showing the empty grey fields from both sides, EPUB Lister displays the text on the entire width of the lister.
In this case EPUB Lister is better because you need to scroll less.

EPUB Lister displays text with current epub's CSS.
e.g. EL displays various font sizes with correct embedded fonts (font name) and font colors in a single document.
(SumatraPDF - renders all text with the same font, font size and font color), displays list elements (list-style-type: disc etc) (sumatraPDF does not display list elements).

Sumatra does not support CSS at all, btw.

sumatraPDF - removes empty lines in some cases.
EPUB Lister leaves empty lines (strict to current css). So reading is easier.


But Sumatra loads EPUB faster and it has more features (search, fast zoom, bookmarks and content, export etc..).
Therefore, I have decided not to waste time on epub lister viewer plugin further developments.

Can you add something like "Plain text size" for fb2, which will calculate number of unicode codepoints in (main text part + references) without metadata parts? May be it should be on-demand calculation

Rationale:
Often it is usefully to know text size (approximately), for txt it was just file size (for 1 byte encodings) but for fb2 huge part of file is base64 encoded cover and/or another pictures, fb2 tags, etc. Also typical fb2 encoding is UTF-8 - so it's problematically to evaluate text length without opening file

The download works fine. Maybe try a different browser.

It seems to be a bug on totalcmd.net: The link
https://totalcmd.net/download.php?id=FastFb2_Epub
redirects to
http://wincmd.ru/files/9924367/FastFb2_Epub_v2.8.2.zip
instead of
https://wincmd.ru/files/9924367/FastFb2_Epub_v2.8.2.zip

Try downloading from the https address.

I've added auto-conversion for the URLs which point to one of our domains, or to ghisler.fileburst.com. Unfortunately, the URLs are provided by authors in free form, and if someone posted an HTTP link, I cannot simply auto-convert it into HTTPS. Even now not all the download services support HTTPS fully. But at least for links that point to third-party servers, the file is mirrored on totalcmd.net, and that mirror link will be HTTPS, so you can use it instead. Sadly, even that does not fix all the potential problems, as the author may update plugins without changing the external link, and auto-mirroring won't be triggered. But it's better than nothing.

Thanks a lot, this will probably cover the majority of files. Some popular sites like github or gitlab could also be added.

Regarding the author-provided links, maybe use a batch file to check which of them work, and replace them with https? Or send a mailing to all authors with http links (but many may not respond).

It's still not possible to replace http download links with https, I just tried it again. Same thing as I reported over a year ago here: viewtopic.php?p=419080#p419080

I thought about checking the links, for adding more domains to those auto-replacement rule. However, as it happens, most of the widely known resources are already specified as HTTPS. The HTTP links point only at some old, lesser known, or personal web sites. They all need to be checked individually. I want to do that too, of course, but it requires time, and I have my hands a bit too full at the moment. This task is a bit less urgent, considering we have HTTPS mirror links now.
