Hi there,
### tl;dr
At the moment `--fail-early` throws me out of the `--parallel` download
with every error 404, even though this error often isn't that fatal.
Adding a range of error codes to the `--fail` family could help here:
```
--fail 400-403,405-
--fail-early 400-403,405-
--fail-on-error 400-403,405-
```
Where `400-403` means `400, 401, 402, 403` and `405-` means `405, 406,
407, ...`.
Alternatively: `--fail-early !404` for ignoring 404 (which might lead to
problems in some shells).
### Detailed explaination
The parameters `--fail` and `--fail-early` might be to strict for some
situations. This has to do with the fact that 401 or 403 is often an
actual reason to cancel a request, while error 404, for example, could
still contain important information (for example an error message).
It would therefore be great if you could choose which error codes lead
to a cancellation.
I'm aware that you could automate the whole thing using `--write-out`
and shell scripting, but then you would not be able to benefit from the
excellent `--parallel` function.
Best regards,
Tobias
