Nothing scraped for: https://soundcloud.com/jzah-2
Pause for: 475 seconds
That is by design, if there are no tracks and no pause, then if lots of profiles have no tracks in a row, you could over scrape
scrape profile = no tracks
scrape profile = no tracks
scrape profile = no tracks
scrape profile = no tracks
scrape profile = no tracks


currently it is
scrape profile = no tracks
pause
scrape profile = no tracks
pause

to avoid that. In some case, I understand not ideal - however, it is a protection and protections are annoying until they are needed, then critically important.

Before running an big action, run a test of 20 items. How many are filtered? use that to decide whether your search + filter is a good mix. It is possible to set filters that will just ignore 90+% of results, this means it is a bad search as there are not many results to meet filter
THank you that gives some insight. Yea I have only one filter though, last uploaded 90 days ago. Maybe I should change it? Thanks
