On a project that I recently worked on I had an issue where sometimes the site I was scraping became unresponsive while downloading files.
This PR adds a select to handle the context deadline exceeded and safely stop the execution of the program.
We scrape certain websites on a daily basis via a reflex event queue Finite state machine.
The file download section I edited in this PR "blocked" the queue and completely stopped processing events.
I had to manually restart our instance each time to get the downloads to finish. This change I implemented sorted out my issue and will hopefully help anyone else in the future.
