Description

would be great if it could download media from a comment section in a group, currently it can only download media files from the main interface in a telegram channel. and there is a problem, if the downloading process is interrupted by connection problem , then I restart it , I have to download the files from the very beginning in a telegram group again, is there a way to fix it?

Research direction
Examine the existing download logic, likely in the main script (e.g., index.js). The comment media feature requires using Telegram API methods to retrieve messages with comments. For resume support, consider implementing a download state tracker (e.g., JSON file) to store progress. Review similar open source tools for pattern examples.
