Hi all, I am using "Batch Link Downloader" extension to download a heap of files from an archive site, however, overnight my pc had shutdown unexpectedly. I want to continue the downloads but I don't want to download what I already have which is a large portion.

There are way too many files to manually check what has and hasn't been downloaded and I already have a large portion downloaded with another large portion to download. Batch link downloader unfortunately doesn't seem to have a way to check if I already have the file in the download folder and just downloads the file again, creating a duplicate with the added (1) at the end of the file name.

Does anyone know of a workaround or another extension that can help me avoid downloading what I already have? I am using Brave browser if that helps.

Thanks
