Trying to download a Twitch channel's past broadcasts results in an indefinite amount of JSON page downloads.

ERROR: Interrupted by user

The channel in the log has at the time of writing 14 past broadcasts. I have tried letting it sit over night, resulting in over 20000 pages without finishing. Before this issue arose, such a channel would require about 2 JSON page downloads before getting all the information required to download the individual past broadcasts.
