Feature Request: Parallel Downloads #1003

Closed Noodlez1232 closed 2 weeks ago

Noodlez1232 commented 3 weeks ago

Some internet connections will throttle single downloads, but will allow multiple downloads at a time (at the throttled rate). In these situations, or when downloading from multiple sources (e.g. some from YouTube, some from PeerTube, some from Bandcamp), it might be beneficial to allow downloading multiple streams at a time, in parallel.

This can be achieved by running multiple ytdl-sub processes. A good strategy is to have a separate subscription file per website - those can safely be ran in parallel

Going to close since parallelism most likely won't be added to the core implementation, but still happy to walk you through on how to parallelize downloads via bash
