Finally you will be asked if you want to download only the audio of the videos (it will be downloaded in .mp3) or if you want to download audio and video (.mp4)

Once the process have finished, you can check the ```downloads``` folder where you will see the downloaded files.

### Features

To download playlist it will use multithreading in order to optimise the download time. To do this it will split the playlist items and distribute them in all the cpu cores that are available in the system.

Eg: If your cpu has 4 cores, it will download 4 videos at once.
