"Invalid Global Session" on every 100 items downloaded

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m downloading a decent amount of photos accumulated for a few years, and the process seems to fail regularly with either “Invalid global session” on every 100 items, or randomly with “Gone (410)” errors.

It’s windows 10, freshly installed Python 3.6.3

If it matters – the connection is rather slow, I’m in Australia 😕
