Sometimes when I download multiple files from S3 bucket using node sdk, the request will timeout for one of the downloads. I would like for the request to just retry to attempt to download again.

The json error response says retryable: false.

Is there a way I can configure it to be true?

Here is the error:

• can you share your code ? – Atul Kumar Commented Apr 11, 2019 at 4:21

I am not sure of how you are using the resources as you didn't share your code, but this might help you.

// setting retries
var s3 = new AWS.S3({apiVersion: '2006-03-01', maxRetries:10}); 

S3 sdk documentation - maxRetries
