Allow Random Values for --sleep-interval #9930

Having a browse here to see what I could actually work on.
I guess thats not ideal because we are taking a string as input and instead we should take two ints (and upper and a lower)? Maybe @yan12125 can provide feedback on my noob approach Edit: I suppose we could just randomize the number in sleep_interval, sending pull request. |
The
--sleep-intervaloption is great. I think that this is the main reason why we can run downloads from heavily monitored sites.Is there a way to modify this option so that it can accept random values? For example, instead of setting it to
--sleep-interval 300to set it to sleep for 300 seconds or 5 minutes between each download, make it like so:--sleep-interval 120-300so that the sleep interval would be set between 120 and 300 seconds.
The rationale is to simulate more realistic browsing behavior.
