So according to some cursory research, there is an existing downloader that people like to use that hasn't been functioning correctly recently. But I was doing some more looking online and couldn't find a viable alternate program that doesn't scream scam. So does anyone have a fix for the AlexCSDev PatreonDownloader?

When I attempt to use it I get stuck on the Captcha in the Chromium browser. It tries and fails again and again, and when I close out of the browser after it fails enough, I see the following error:
