Unsolved Captchas Cause Blacklisting of Cluster #446

Hello and thank you for your awesome work with this library!

For my master's thesis I am trying to download the LAION dataset (specifically the laion2b-en subset). I tried following this example, but my network admin very quickly reached out to me and kindly asked me to stop the download as it was causing the cluster to be blacklisted for a short period of time. Apparently too many sites with CAPTCHAs were requested and because they all failed, our network was marked as a bot.

Since I cannot find anyone else describing this problem, I am wondering if I missed something in using this library correctly or if it is implausible and I need to search for the mistake someplace else.

Thank you all in advance!
Finn
