+**downloadWaitTime**:  
+Wait time (in seconds) between downloads. Default is 0 (disabled).  
+When set to a value greater than 0, downloads will be performed sequentially with the specified wait time between each download.  
+This helps prevent overloading the Floatplane servers with concurrent requests and reduces the risk of being rate-limited.
