Have you looked at the contents of a recently downloaded QFX file? QFX files are just text. If there are transactions there, and when you say “get nothing” you mean that the import transaction matcher shows a blank window, then the most common cause is that the bank has started re-using internal transaction ID numbers (FITID tags in QFX-speak). Does your bank report any errors when you try to download transactions as QFX? Sometimes they stop allowing that for free, but don’t make it obvious that they expect you to pay because they think the only program that uses QFX is Quicken. And they might be set up to send an information message to quicken that aqbanking and gnucash simply ignore.
