How to avoid Deviantart Cloudfront block during bulk download? #6346

Closed defaultd3f4lt closed 2 days ago

defaultd3f4lt commented 5 days ago

i have tried --sleep command but i still get the warning/block. my command is: -gallery-dl -i "mytxtfilename.txt" -A "3" --sleep "3"

i haven't tried --sleep-request command and i have question regarding it since i still don't understand the commands description from -h: What's the difference between --sleep and --sleep-request ?

also i found it weird that DA allows me to download over 1000 files from a single gallery but when i download around 3-4 new files from multiple gallery it give me a temporary break.

thank you for your attention.

What's the difference between --sleep and --sleep-request ?

--sleep waits before each file download and doesn't do anything when downloads are skipped.

--sleep-request waits before each HTTP request during data extraction, independent of file downloads.
