FAIL: 429 Too Many Requests
The first image import died quietly. Public IPFS gateways don't like 600 requests in a row.
First run of the importer: 137 artworks written, 2 images downloaded. Every other request came back
429 Too Many Requests from the public gateways.
The works still exist, of course. They live on IPFS, pinned and permanent. But permanent is not the same as fast, and a public gateway is a shared door, not a warehouse.
Fix: ask the marketplace’s own CDN first, fall back to the gateways, and lower the concurrency. Second run: 621 of 621.
