Increase get_replay limit #212

Closed jxu closed 6 years ago

The current limit is 10 requests per minute. This is unreasonable. A typical replay file might be ~40kB and a typical beatmap may be 5 MB. So, not counting server response resources, downloading a single beatmap takes about the same bandwidth as downloading 125 replays. And consider how many beatmaps are downloaded by users in a minute.

I propose greatly increasing the current get_replay limit. Replays are very useful in determining cheated scores.

Each of these lookups is quite expensive. Apart from making this a paid service, I cannot increase the limit for now, sorry.
