Description
HTML content download and subtitles files are currently preceded by an arbitrary time.sleep within the download method.
Apparent goal was to prevent 429 errors.
This is somewhat unnatural.

Research direction
Start by locating the download method and reading how HTML content and subtitle files are currently delayed with time.sleep. Determine a clear request-throttling approach that addresses the 429 concern, then verify both download paths behave as intended without relying on the current arbitrary delay.
