System Download Limit Handling #5

Closed pprp closed 10 months ago

pprp commented 10 months ago

Due to system constraints that permit the download of only up to 330 files at once, we've introduced a global variable named REQUEST_COUNT. If the file count exceeds 330, this variable helps determine if a 15-minute wait is necessary before proceeding with additional downloads.

Hi there and thanks for your contribution!

I accidentally merged the previous PR believing it was a way to bypass the download limit. I think we should be a little careful about this. If a user tries downloading and the limit is hit, the app will just hang without any alert. The more than 10-minute wait can make it seem like a bug, when in fact it is not; I doubt a user would wait around 10 minutes thinking everything is working fine.

This should be either an option or it should be easy to see the reason why (e.g. in form of a popup) with maybe some extra info, such as using a VPN can bypass the problem
