This is because this is not an official URL coming from instagram. Ripme is trying to get the full resolution photo by removing sub strings of the official URL coming from instagram. But that trick doesn’t always work any more- instagram have started changing it this week

This should be fixed in 1.7.36

@thinkpad4 It’s fine

This is kinda fixed in 1.7.28 but I’m leaving this open encase someone figures out how to get full size images again
