It was the first thing I wrote back in 2016 when I started my anime handler project.

The downloading feature turned to be one of the most important in this project, because of it I don't need to handle downloads manually anymore.

Merging splitted MKVs was implemented, but as I almost never used it (just for Gunslinger Girl) this code was eventually disabled.

File convertion turned to be a lot more complex. Also 4:4:4 is chroma subsampling, 8 is bit depth, different things!

SHA-1 checking was never implemented.

It checks for 40 files instead of 24.

The buffer is now limited by time, not count.

The 36 items limit was raised to 100, but this warning never was reached.
