= What is taking so long?? =
One reason why the scraping process may be taking so long is that you are trying to scrape a link that is https://. To quicken the process be sure to stay away from https:// links. The will work but the scraper has to work extra hard to grab the content.
Another reason may be that you are trying to scrape a huge page with a ton of content. If all of the links you are scraping have the same theme its a good idea to utilize the content selector to limit the amount of content being saved to the posts.
