[Feat] Check Downloaded File Features

Open DrF014 opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

Proposal

Is there any way to check if the file already downloaded..? (for example : gallery-dl check if the file already downloaded and make sure its completed., so the next time we run the script its doesn't start downloading the same file and overwrite it again. This will be helpful if we want to continue our download from last time session. Thanks

Background

gallery dl -- check file -- already downloaded ? -- check if the file really completed ? -- if yes then move to another file/link - tdl -- download -- file already downloaded -- not checked -- download again and overwrite

in the end its doesn't download over and over again and overwrite this feature would be helpful

Workarounds

tdl must check if "file" already downloaded check the md5 for make sure the file is completed not corrupted --> if already download & completed = yes -> go to another file don't donwload again, if already download last time but not completed (70-80% download) = resume the download session if not already download --> download the file

so the script don't need to download the same file over and over when we start new session. Thanks
