Batch downloads need queue limits, source records, retries, and usage boundaries. Use the web tool only for proving that a single link works; move batch work to extension, Pro, API, or MCP paths that can record status and refuse unsupported links.

Direct answer
Batch downloads need queue limits, source records, retries, and usage boundaries. Use the web tool only for proving that a single link works; move batch work to extension, Pro, API, or MCP paths that can record status and refuse unsupported links.
Recommended workflow
Extension or Pro queue first; API/MCP for developer automation and audit logs.
Steps
Test one representative link in the web tool before creating a queue.
Separate links by platform, source type, and permission status.
Set rate limits, retry limits, and failure reason logging.
Export a record of successful, skipped, and refused links.
