@JimmXinu: I'm a bit OCD so I tend to download whatever has been posted/updated each day in the pairings I follow. In most fandoms that's only a few fics a day or even a week. In my big fandoms like Arrow, Hobbit, and Harry Potter that's between 20 to 30 fics a day. I average about 200-250 stories a day.
I run it with slow_down_sleep_time:15.0
A light user would probably be fine with a 5.0 setting.
Honestly though it's hard to say what the best setting is right now. I was doing my usual downloads, 10 at a time and had no problems then about 4pm EST suddenly it was taking forever. When I looked at the Job List Calibre/FFDL was on fic 1 of 10 at 1% for over 40 minutes. I finally cancelled it and tried again but cancelled after 10 minutes of the same thing. Finally I set it to download 1 story after checking that AO3 was up and functioning. It took 13 minutes to download. Same happened with the next 5 stories before it suddenly sped back up again. My thought is, at least until AO3 has things sorted out slow_down_sleep_time should probably be set at 5.0 as a base. The slowdown isn't really noticeable, I think, and it eases the load on AO3. Power users, like me, should probably consider setting their personal.ini to at least 10.0, even 15.0. The slowdown is a little noticeable at that point but I always had FFDL running in the background anyway while I did other stuff so it just means I might actually finish my solitaire game before Calibre/FFDL is done instead of being interrupted halfway through it.
