Notes

• Files save as EP-0001.mp4, EP-0002.mp4 etc. Re-running skips anything already downloaded.
• Direct MP4 is preferred over HLS when available. HLS falls back automatically.
• Each failed episode retries up to 5 times before being skipped.
• Downloads write to a temp file first then rename atomically — no partial files left behind if something cuts out.
