First of all, thank you for this incredible project. I love every option and everything is very thought out. Great work.

I think it would be nice if there could be an option to keep server timestamps. Safari, for example, does just that when downloading via its Activity Monitor. It would help me tremendously, as I organize content by date.

Ditto! I have wanted this for a long time, and it seems relatively easy to implement (just parse the Last-Modified header and set the file time to that time when finished).

I have always used wget (which maintains timestamps) to download videos (after getting the URL with youtube-dl), but now, I can't get wget to work even using cookies.
