I download a subreddit and my script makes a new folder daily with the date. So all my hashes are always in that folder. I would like to specify a folder so I can keep one mega hash file to compare against for every new day.

Currently I have to use a dupe finder later to delete any duped content.

I'm using this fork currently bulk-downloader-for-reddit_with-saved-hashes)

@madhatr Couldn't your script rename the current folder (of the subreddit) after downloading or the existing folder from the previous day before starting BDFR? That way the root folder with the hashes would stay untouched.
