I'm downloading some videos from a site which utilizes .mp2t streams, and when it initializes the download, it correctly passes my cookie with session and everything else so it allows me to download the whole stream.

However, upon completion of the batch, let's say it's a 3 min. video, it will download the video and start downloading the same video again from scratch in temp folder.

Can this somehow be circumvented? For example, if I use youtube-dl https://server.somesite.com/<some video=""> on the same site, and supply my cookie with session + "range: bytes=0-999999999" it downloads the file correctly and stops there.</some>

I hope this makes sense.
