Hey! If you’re worried about getting blocked, try using `--random-wait`. It randomizes the delay between requests, making your scraping look more human-like.

For organizing, I use `-O` to specify output filenames. Helps when you’re downloading specific files.

Also, check out `--mirror` if you’re scraping entire sites. It’s a game-changer!
