The download completion feature is good, especially since most people use home internet, unfortunately, with a dynamic IP address that changes, which causes the download to fail, especially if the download has a huge data volume and takes a lot of time.

We can't really support that. However, if you enable DownloadPostsIncrementally, it will speed up the process of subsequent scraping runs. It doesnt redownload the same files it successfully got before, but it still has to scan the feed to see what to download. By using incremental mode, it starts that scan where it last left off, so it's much faster. A scan of a new user has no history, so that will start f4om the beginning.

Note this is all post specific, jot messages, but they're rarely the issue (and the api is different so we can't add that even if we wanted to).
