Just hit that error from branch v3-dev (while doing my regular daily downloads)

Thanks for testing our v3-dev branch and reporting this! Commit 5732948 changes Instaloader's behavior such that this kind of error should be handled differently. Instead of failing and aborting, a error message is printed and Instaloader goes on to the next node to download.

However, I am curious which error message would occur now. I somehow feel this is related to the rate limit issues, #26 and #29.
