download multiple files (eg. complete season)

[ek234]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
it would be convenient to be able to download a complete season of a tv show in one go.

Describe the solution you'd like
adding an option to select the whole season/ multiple episodes which are then downloaded sequentially or parallelly.

Describe alternatives you've considered
writing an external script that runs lobster with the download flag for each episode.

Additional context

it would be really nice if you could PR this! since i'm busy with exams in the next 2 weeks.

what i think would be a nice implementation for this feature:

• -b and --batch as arguments with a range that can be given using any separator: a:b or a-b where u match a number then any symbol and then any number again. using regex it would look something like this: [0-9]*.[0-9]*
• then you make a for loop to fetch and download each video link individually, using the next_episode_exists function to check for the existence of a next episode

the rest is up to you tbh, i don't have any particular requirements for it.

this might not be the easiest thing to implement so don't push yourself too hard. i am planning on starting a complete rewrite of the project in rust in ~1.5 week, and i will implement this feature then, so there might not even be a need for you to go out of your way for this
