I could not find any option to limit the amount of track pages to download when requesting a user page on SoundCloud, and of course this gets rather slow when an account has a massive amount of tracks.

as an example

from __future__ import unicode_literals;
import youtube_dl;

ydl_opts = {
	"playlistend": 2,
	"dateafter": "2016/11/1"
};

with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
	results = ydl.extract_info(
		"http://soundcloud.com/anjunabeats",
		download=False
	);
	print(results);

[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading user info
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 1
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 2
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 3
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 4
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 5
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 6
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 7
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 8
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 9
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 10
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 11
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 12
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 13
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 14
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 15
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 16
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 17
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 18
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 19
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 20
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 21
[soundcloud:user] anjunabeats: Downloading track page 22

etc., etc.

I just want some way to limit this to 1 page, as an example, also only looking to extract data.

To accomplish it SoundcloudUserIE needs to be rewritten with InAdvancePagedList
