Need Connection Retries and Not Exit:

When there is a Network issue, the script exits saying "ConnectionError", Is there any way I can make It retry connection rather than exiting? I've tried my best to no avail.

Why does it follow famous people? How does this get us more followers?

Instaloader.exceptions.QueryReturnedNotFoundException: JSON Query to accounts/login/: Could not find "window._sharedData" in html response.

what is the session file and how can i make it

I get an error when running cookies.py

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Browser: Firefox
• Version: Browser and Windows latest versions

I have Firefox installed and it looks like theres no session file created.

Describe the bug
-> Currently, if a user enters a non-numeric string as input, a ValueError is raised, leading to unexpected program termination.

Expected behavior
-> I suggest implementing a more robust user input mechanism using a try and except block. With this enhancement, the program will repeatedly prompt the user for a valid numeric input until one is provided.

Location of Issue

• The suggested change should be applied in the following location:
  -> IGFollowersIncreaser/InstagramFollowers/V3/mainV3.py
  -> LINE 69

BEFORE

opt=int(input("[>] Please enter a number (from the above ones): "))

AFTER-FIXED

no_value_err = False
while not no_value_err:
    try:
        opt = int(input("[>] Please enter a number (from the above ones): "))
        no_value_err = True
    except ValueError:
        print ("[!] Please enter a valid number.")
