You must `download()` an article first!

I am using newspaper the way it was described in the docs but I kept getting random exception with You must download() an article first!. One example that should be reproducible is:

import newspaper

article = newspaper.Article(url="https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20180328VL202.html")
article.download()
article.parse() # Exception will be thrown here 

Any ideas why?

This is how I get around this - pretty sure I found this on GH or stackoverflow, can’t remember.

from time import sleep
from newspaper.article import ArticleException, ArticleDownloadState

# Download article
slept = 0
article.download()
while article.download_state == ArticleDownloadState.NOT_STARTED:
    # Raise exception if article download state does not change after 10 seconds
    if slept > 9:
        raise ArticleException('Download never started')
    sleep(1)
    slept += 1

# Parse article
article.parse()

thanks @DavidRayner .When I download too much article(like 100 in a for loop), it gives this exception.
