Hi, great piece of software however suppose you want to do something like this:

while IFS= read -r line; do
    ulozto-downloader --auto-captcha --parts 50 $line
done < to_download.txt

It would be really convient if you cound add another parameter, say --Y or --N, that would do the obvious thing here.

Can't you achieve the same result by using yes or yes n respectively?

while IFS= read -r line; do
    yes | ulozto-downloader --auto-captcha --parts 50 $line
done < to_download.txt

Possibly (I need to test it) but not in the case of No because after No the script returns exit(1) and it kill the whole loop.

sys.exit(1) only means that the script terminates with exit status 1. Why wouldn't it continue with the next loop iteration? That's not how the POSIX shell while loop behaves. yes n | ulozto-downloader ... should work like a charm.

Indeed you are right. I was a little bit confused because if I tried to do it by hand the loops stopped. Thanks.
