I was able to get both the solutions to work individually, just vibe coded using cursor. Although there were lot of issues, hence scrapped the solution.

Pre Download check for existing files:

I noticed that the downloads are sequential and even if a file already exist it take quite a while for it to skip it.

There should be a pre-download check for existing files:

Get all the final names for the files.
Check if they exist using just their names. Should be fast enough
Mark the existing ones, skipped before proceeding to downloads.

Parallel downloads

This could be a bit tricky and tedious to implement.
