There is an option to make it give you 'Download from URLs' all the time: under FFF's config GUI Options, uncheck 'Default to Update when books selected?'.

There isn't an option to always get the drop down. In theory, there could be; I'll look into it.

What I personally do is use a bunch of custom keyboard short cuts:

I've tried adding the time-out from FFnet but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Adding/increasing slow_down_sleep_time setting is about the only FFF change that might help. However, if you've already done enough downloads to trip a throttling mechanism, it might not help for a few minutes/hours/days/???

The other most likely option is a problem at AO3. A quick look at the front page of AO3 shows this as the second news item: Intermittent site slowness.

So I would suggest patience.
