Downloaded it, but I'm now getting "maximum download limit exceeded" from Hathi Download Helper.

ADDED: It appears to download about 6 pages at a time, with a wait of about 5 minutes before it gets another 6 pages (or so).

Downloading a 682 page book will quite a long time, it seems.

Ya, it will take several hours for long books. It is actually faster to download manually one page at a time (they don't seem to "disable/throttle" the manual download as vigorously as they used to), but you really don't want to do that for more that a few dozen pages unless you are totally bored with *nothing* better to do. But you can let the Helper do its business in the background while you do more amusing things. Just make sure when the Helper completes its tasks, you go to the download folder, and delete or move the pages it downloaded, or the Helper will append them to your next download project.
