Tgdl - Telegram Media Downloader – High-speed CLI for bulk Telegram media downloads

Summary: Tgdl is a Python-based CLI tool that downloads media from Telegram channels, groups, and bots up to 10x faster using parallel downloads and smart filters. It supports cross-platform use and tracks progress with real-time stats.

What it does

Tgdl performs parallel downloads (5-20 simultaneous) with filters for media type, file size, and message ID ranges. It resumes interrupted downloads by skipping already downloaded files and provides detailed logging and error handling.

Who it's for

It is designed for users needing to back up channels, archive group media, or batch download files from Telegram bots.

Why it matters

Tgdl addresses slow download speeds and lack of filtering in existing tools, enabling efficient, selective bulk media downloads from Telegram.
