Is there a way to circumvent throttling? #36

First of all thank you for creating this amazing tool!

I have a pretty big library and for hours it downloaded fine, but now it downloads at an extremely slow speed.

A small pdf takes about half an hour.

However, when I download over the humble bundle interface, the speed is a lot faster (about 5 mbps).

What I tried

I started using the cookie file, while also copying the headers of my browser session to the requests session (self.session.headers.update(HEADERS) - logging enabled, so I see the correct headers are sent), but this seemed to have no effect.

Hmm.. it went through. Seemed like only certain files were affected (irrespective of file size).

It might be that they're using a CDN for distribution and certain files aren't cached.
