crash downloading large library

[Oryhara]

I bought this bundle: https://itch.io/bundle/download/fCCJhYMFZALEAiZP7yTQ6UTHjm7WHfNdoGrsnxez
and now i'm trying to download them all locally.
Installed this app per instructions. running command as indicated in readme.

It repeatedly gives this error:

I'm having limited success running it repeatedly with thousands of jobs. But of the 254 creators in this bundle i've only gotten 68 downloaded so far.

Could you be hitting some kind of rate limit? I think there have been issues people have had if connecting from a cloud box

[Oryhara]

Idk what a cloud box is. I'm running this locally on a laptop using powershell.
I'm not sure if rate limiting makes sense because I had more success when I added a really high number of jobs.
and initially i ran with just 1 job.

I'm having the same issue on win 10 LTSC, with the added issue of "I have no idea where the downloads are going, and so cannot check if they're actually working". ^^; A fix would be good, or at least instructions for someone who doesn't work with python very much. (I uh. Also don't know how to change the amount of jobs. ^^; )

Whatever directory the shell is currently in

i am having the very same issue with the same bundle, but on a different game. mine stopped working after seyvoth manor. i know everything up till that point has downloaded, but after that it just freezes up and stops. here's the message it gives me:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ladyorthetiger\birb-heist\Birb Heist — For Everyone.pdf'

that last filenotfound is actually one of the files that successfully downloaded. also another thing that may or may not be relevant is this bundle is like all pdfs and images, as it's a ttrpg bundle.
I'm not excellent at interpreting the errors it's throwing, any advice?
im on a laptop with windows 11 running this in the normal command prompt
thanks
