Rate Limit on RSS feeds

[Balthier]

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.0.3 - Windows 10 Professional

At present it appears that qBittorent attempts to fetch all RSS feeds either at the same time, or in rapid succession.

This causes read errors when using multiple RSS feeds from a single site which imposes a connection limit.

Manually refreshing RSS feeds in smaller groups, works perfectly each time.

Please can we get an option which defines either/both of the following:
RSS connections per second
Number of RSS feeds to refresh per check

Either of those options would allow us to set the rate limit manually based on our individual requirements.

This issue opened for more than 2 years already and I think it need some attention. I'm managing a small list of RSS feeds (20) and I already hitting website's rate limit. I really hope this feature got implemented.

I might be able to help, i want to add a settings in the rss settings menu for a delay in seconds when calling the RSS feeds which is a simple solution but i doubt people use so many rss feeds that those few seconds would affect them.

I want to confirm before i setup the local dev env that:

1. This solution is acceptable
2. No one else started working on this, please assign me to let me know

At present it appears that qBittorent attempts to fetch all RSS feeds either at the same time, or in rapid succession.

In fact, a "sequencing" mechanism was added some time ago to prevent simultaneous requests from multiple RSS feeds to the same site. But it has no additional delay. Requests are simply queued, and each subsequent one is executed as soon as the previous one is completed. So we could extend it by adding the ability to use a configurable delay.
