If you are using the gallery-dl-example.conf as your base config check through it.
Cause, I been using it for about 4 years and just today I found out:

(This is the old gallery-dl-example.conf from sometime ago it doesn't have the comments like the new one)

"downloader": {
        "#": "do not update file modification times",
        "rate": "1M",
        "progress": 2,
        "retries": 3,
        "timeout": 8,

I have been limiting gallery-dl to 1Mb/s max this whole time. I always wonder why exporting the -G to aria2 seem faster than just doing it in gallery-dl... Oops
I'm just do this now:

"downloader": {
        "#": "do not update file modification times",
        "#rate": "1M",
        "progress": 1,
        "retries": 3,
        "timeout": 15,
