1 year ago This is a rate limit wait time built into PRAW and imposed by reddit. Reddit claims their rate limit is 60 requests per minute, but in my experience, this is not true. Each response from the reddit API that indicates a rate limit infraction will increase the sleep time between requests up to a point. For long download sessions, this can lead to fairly long wait times. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about this. Reddit does not even disclose what their real rate limit policy is.
We increase the rate limit by allowing users to authenticate through reddit. Users that are authenticated will see less of a wait time between requests.

Describe the bug Possibly related to #279, but this one is also slightly different. The UX is similar though, in that nothing happens for a while.
While downloading, doesn't matter what, it seems, the application will just sort of sit there. It'll do absolutely nothing for a few minutes and then carry on as if not a cloud in the sky. And when I say nothing, I mean no CPU usage, no disk I/O, no network I/O, and no changes in memory usage.
Upon investigation with Process Hacker, I can see no obvious weirdness happening. Everything is ay-okay. But also nothing going on even if I drill down into the threads or handles. It's sitting absolutely and utterly idle. So then why isn't it carrying on like it's supposed to?
Environment Information
For all but the most trivial of issues, please attach the latest log file. The log doesn't show anything going on. Like I said, nothing happens. Not even a log entry gets added. Except one for being finished when it finally carries on and gets to the end.
