⚡ Why does it say "Too many downloads"?
To prevent abuse and protect the service, we've implemented rate limits:
- 📊 10 requests per minute per IP address
- ⏱️ 5 proxy downloads per minute (fallback when direct download doesn't work)
⏰ Solution: Wait 1 minute and try again. The limit resets automatically!
These limits are generous for normal use but prevent bots and automated scrapers.
