I don't know if FFDL is considered a bot by AO3 but, based on the error message that was going out sitewide last night when they had problems, it looks like they have a number of downloads per minute limit which appears to be 6 since they requested waiting at least 10 seconds between each download.
I typically download 10-15 fics at a time, 25 if I'm feeling impatient, using a 15 second slow_down_sleep_time setting in my personal.ini and I rarely have an issue outside when AO3 is having overall site issues.
