I want do download multiple play lists by youtube-dl. Created batch file for links of urls. But when any interrupt occurred after that interrupt youtube-dl restart downloading and check every link again and again and its very time consuming task to check again and already downloaded videos? How to avoid repeated recheck in youtube-dl? I use following command.

youtube-dl -a -c -i batchfileofurls.txt

But its time consuming when any interrupt occurred. I want to avoid following task when particular videos or links are successfully downloaded.
