Feature request: Option to skip errors and continue download #79

Closed spinnaker1 closed 4 years ago

spinnaker1 commented 4 years ago

If you provide lynda-dl a list of urls of courses and a single course download gives an error, it stops downloading and doesn't continue with the remaining courses.

Is it possible to add a flag to skip an error and continue downloading with the remaining courses? Or just skip the specific video in that course and continue with next video in same course?

For example youtube-dl provides that option:

-i, --ignore-errors              Continue on download errors, for example to
                                 skip unavailable videos in a playlist
-c, --continue                   Force resume of partially downloaded files.
                                 By default, youtube-dl will resume
                                 downloads if possible.
