HAL Translator not recognized

mjthoraval
I have tried to import the following thesis:
https://theses.hal.science/tel-05056628

I see that there is a translator for HAL:
https://github.com/zotero/translators/

But it uses the Embedded Metadata translator instead on that page.

I have tried also on the simpler page:
https://hal.science/tel-05056628
But same result.

The Embedded Metadata translator is not able to get the PDF file.
Is is possible to fix the HAL translator?

    Thanks! Pushed a fix. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update translators manually from the Advanced pane of the Zotero settings.

    Thank you. The translator is recognised now, but the PDF file still cannot be downloaded.

    The Debug ID is D600293945.

    The import of the PDF file stays blocked at this stage:
    https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u265723/amf508zcrtm8o409cmi8.png
    It does not show the red cross saying that the import of the PDF file failed.

    It's just a 400 MB PDF (somehow) and a slow server.

    If I do a "Find Full Text" on the item from My Library, it takes 5 seconds to download the PDF file.
    But if I try to import from the HAL page or directly from the page of the PDF file, I can wait 10 minutes and nothing happens.

    I understand that it is a big file, but I would expect it to work the same as "Find Full Text"?

    We'll look into it. (When saving via the Connector, the download happens in your browser, so it's a slightly different mechanism.)
