How to Set Scrapy Auto_Throttle Settings
set DOWNLOAD_DELAY = some_number where some_number is the delay (in seconds) you want for every request and RANDOMIZE_DOWNLOAD_DELAY = False so it can be static.
My use case is this: I have 10 spiders and the AUTO_THROTTLE_ENABLED setting is set to True, globally. The problem is that for one of the spiders the runtime WITHOUT auto-throttling is 4 days, but the runtime WITH auto-throttling is 40 days... 
I would like to find a balance and make the spider run in 15 days (3x the original amount). I've been reading through the scrapy documentation this morning but the whole thing has confused me quite a bit. Can anyone tell me how to keep auto-throttle enabled globally, and just turn down the amount to which it throttles?
