Feature Request: Ability to Skip files that already exist #5

Open Katylar opened 6 months ago

Katylar commented 6 months ago

Basically, it's not uncommon for me to get an error when downloading/archiving a large channel. So when I try to restart the download, I end up redownloading everything--even the files I've already successfully downloaded.

It'd be great if we can add a flag that will allow a download operation to skip if a file with the same filename already exists in the export folder.

@Katylar I have added a feature to filter media files based on the media type(imge, video, audio) and extension to solve this issue, in the comming days i will be working on feauture to skip and start download from a particular message.
