Hello everyone,
@iyear
I'm new to TDL , I have installed it already. But I need help with TDL command. I have read the documentation but still I need some help in figuring out if the command i created is correct !!!!

My USE CASE - Download large number of Media from "Saved Messages". I have over 400,000
media files in saved messages and i want to download them , is this command correct to do this ?

**My command -

tdl dl -c me
--types video,image,document
--skip-same
--rewrite-ext
--group
--template "{{ .MessageID }}{{ .DownloadDate }}{{ .FileName }}"
--storage type=bolt,path=./tdl_data
--delay 5s
--takeout
--pool 2
-threads 4
-l 4
--debug
--ntp pool.ntp.org
--reconnect-timeout 3m**

One more thing, As i said I want to download 400,000 files , obviously i can't do it in 1 day , it will take days or weeks. I know TDL have --skip-same flag to skip Already downloaded files. But if I remove the files from my Download directory to clear the space on my System --skip-same will become USELESS.

Is there a way to store data about downloaded files in a database like PostgreSQL so that even if I remove the downloaded files from download directory , Those files aren't downloaded again ?

Looking forward to your reply guys !!

Thank you .
