can network timeout tolerance be increased?

[kaefert]

couldn't find anything about it in the -h help text.

Crashed with this error while my network connection was flaky:

This is a problem with the api call. The timeout of the response cannot be changed.
It wouldn't make a difference either way.
What did you try to call?

[kaefert]

just normal track downloading, but it succeeded at the second try. It was simply a network issue on my side.

I just wanted to ask if spotify-ripper could be made more tolerant to network problems and retry on such failures instead of crashing.

There is a variable for that but I believe it is inside the spotify code so not accessible from here. May be accessible via an api call.
Will have a look at it. You're invited to research that as well
