-The argument `--sleep-interval 120` is important. It means that the program will wait 120s (2 minutes) before it downloads the next video. If you don't use this flag _Pluralsight_ will ban you because you are doing too many requests under a short period of time.

If you don't use this flag _Pluralsight_ will ban you because you are doing too many requests under a short period of time. This interval was the sleep interval that was suggested 2 years ago when I first wrote this based on issues in the `youtube-dl`-repository. I have no idea how the interval holds up, it can probably be shorter.
