I added a new
--max-downloadscommand line option to limit the number of files downloaded per jobI wanted to make it easier to stop downloads early without writing an external script or interrupting it manually, and I mainly used it for testing new extractors and previewing the first few files from various sources
The default behavior is unchanged when the option is omitted, and I tested it locally to make sure download halts cleanly after reaching the limit
(this is also my first open source contribution, feedback is very welcome!)
