This release contains the following changes:

  • Added --no-remote-size-action command line parameter. (#68)
    This parameter allows you to set behavior of the downloader when it can't check remote file size for existing files.
    Possible options are ReplaceExisting (replaces existing files) and KeepExisting (skips download for existing files, default option).
    Important note: --overwrite-files command line option has priority over KeepExisting setting.
