Hello,
Im am using the Periscope script to download subtitles from this site from my Synology Diskstation and it works like a charm for the first couple (maybe 50-100) subtitles I try to download. After that the script seems to indicate that it found a subtitle and downloads it but then give me the error:
"ERROR:periscope:Not a gzipped file" (this is sometimes repeated a couple of times, once for each avilable Subtitle is my guess) , and then:
"ERROR:periscope:No subtitles could be chosen.".
Even so the script do manage to download a file called "filename.srt.gz", which contains code that looks very much as code from a webpage:

If I try to download the file again directly I will get the same error, but If I wait for a while the script will work again for a couple of more downloads. This makes me think that opensubtitles got some kind of maximum number of subtitles that it will let me download in a certain time. Is this correct? If so, I would like to know what I am allowed, so that I can modify my script accordingly.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Is there a maximum number of downloads per day?
to add my 2 cents:
http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/faq#antileech
There is limit I think 200 subtitles per 24 hours, if you want to raise that limit become VIP member and login first.

Re: Is there a maximum number of downloads per day?
"50-100 subtitles" is hardly "the first couple of subtitles".
In these cases, clearly, a bit of self-restraint is in order. Slowly building up your library of subtitles downloading 100 a day (you can't see 100 videos a day, so it shouldn't be a big problem).

Thank you! That exactly the information I was looking for.
eduo:
Im sorry if I came across as rude, english is not my first language and sometimes I do not get the finer points of my writing perfectly.
But I do think my question is valid (and not connected to "self-restraint" in any way), it is not as if my problem was that I though the limits is to low. My problem was that I did not know which limits I was supposed to follow. I have no problem what so ever that it will take a week or two to get subtitles to most of my TV series episodes, my problem was that my automated script for doing so run into trubble and downloaded the wrong thing. Creating manual work for me and unesecary load for OpenSubtitles.

Olaus: Don't worry. The "self-restraint" bit was a joke because you were sending hundreds of request to the site. I just thought it looked funny to use "a couple" (which is used for 2 to 4 of something) for 50 to 100 subtitlesoss:

No rudeness nor complaints here. Just found that line funny and then advised to split your downloads according to the limits OSS helpfully reminded us of.

Ohh, that joke flew right over my head
I got my script to pause for 12,5 hours every 45 download. So in a couple of days I will go back to only check my new files, and then this limit will no longer be a problem.
Thanks again for your help!
