[Feature Request] Download only subtitles [No video and audio] #125

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes, I am unable to download (auto-generated + plus other subtitles if uploaded by the youtuber themselves) subtitles YT without video and/or audio.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a drop-down option to download subtitles only.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried searched online for this problem but are still in beta or required to install npm or docker which is not suitable for ordinary people.

Additional context If possible add an checkbox options to download selected multiple subtitles files (if available).

The related yt-dlp option is this:

--skip-download                 Do not download the video but write all
                                related files (Alias: --no-download)

This would then cover thumbnail, subtitles, possibly the .json file containing metadata
