Question: can it continue a suspended job?

[User670]

Trying to clone a webpage, but it froze after a while, probably due to some network hiccups. I had to kill the process and start over (only to get stuck again, to be honest). Is it possible for this module to continue a suspended job, skipping files that have already been saved?

(Also, what are the time out thresholds and retry limits for the requests? Can I specify these values?)

(Also, can I make it print some logs if a request failed or timed out and is doing a retry?)

Windows 10, Python 3.8.1. Module installed via pip install pywebcopy, module called by command line python -m pywebcopy save_webpage http://y.tuwan.com/chatroom/3701 ./ --bypass_robots.

Yes. Pywebcopy skips files that already exists, so you could consider it being resumed.

(Also, what are the time out thresholds and retry limits for the requests? Can I specify these values?)

No. You have to rerun the scripts/cmd manually i.e. overwrite=False in scripts or without the --overwrite flag in cmd.

(Also, can I make it print some logs if a request failed or timed out and is doing a retry?)

Yes. Set debug=True or --debug flag, then it will print logs which you could manually inspect.

I think he was talking about the crawl delays between the requests (i.e. timeouts / pauses / wait) to prevent the high load and avoid being banned by the source.

Is it possible to set such a delay between requests? Like "--wait" in WGET.

It would be great for both sides (a source website won't be ddosed and the crawler won't be banned in the middle of the process).

I don't think I got banned, and I wasn't talking about delay between requests.

What I was experiencing was, um, like, the crawling just freezes, with no messages being printed to the console for minutes, after a while, and I had to kill the process and start over (otherwise it won't move).
