VLC 3.0.1 with VLsub 0.10.2 Hangs on any search or download request

This same issue has been happening now for over a year. I really appreciate that VLC and VLsub are available, but they are simply not usable. If this is a problem with server congestion, would it be overly difficult to have a message displayed like 'Server is busy, wait or retry?'.
Yep, I have the same problem.
Even, I have the same problem.
I'm on Mac OS 10.13.3
@duplex143 as your using a mac i would suggest moving to iina, it has internal sub downloader with multiple providers and the player itself is awesome and well maintained
Thanks for recommending iina. Never heard of that until now. It's simply awesome.
Slow, buggy and outdated. Any news for the 3.x version of VLC?
After pressing Ctrl+M and analyzing debug output of VLC, I've seen this message after I tried to download subtitles:

VLC 3.0.4 @ Gentoo Linux
vlsub 0.11.0
same as @michalspondr, vlc 3.0.7.1
@michalspondr : fixed by adding a bunch of useflags to vlc:

I have found that with the latest version of VLC (3.0.8) and the latest version of Vlsub (0.11.0) everything works fine with the default settings. Once in a while, Vlsub will appear to hang due to a non-response from the web site it is referencing. If you wait it out (roughly a minute or so) it will come back and you can retry or gracefully exit Vlsub.
