Tried it on the "favourites" URL and yea, reproduced it. Logs show

Attempting to get full size image from http://gucken.deviantart.com/art/Feuersbrunst-108054629

Found download page: http://www.deviantart.com/download/108054629/feuersbrunst_by_gucken-d1sbzhh.rar?token=7cf85b802e4bb094ee8c433a1e4635c0b54f67b0&ts=1450642273

So DeviantArt is giving a .rar to download it.

The download button on Feuersbrunst says:
Download
RAR download, 2.2MB

Looks like you'll have to manually extract RAR files using some tool like 7-Zip (Windows/Linux, Free) or Keka (Mac/OSX, Free).

I can't think of a simple way for the ripper to detect RAR files and extract them automatically. For that example, the RAR contains a bunch of images and a "ReadMe"; it would require a significant effort to get the Ripper to support deviantart RAR files.

No action to take on this bug. The content was a compressed file, and it downloads correctly. User needs to have the correct software to interact with the downloaded content.
