When running the downloader multiple times in a short period of time, you may want to use the --keep-session flag.
If specified, the downloader will save and restore session cookies (.iliassession file in the output directory).
If you'd like to avoid unwieldy course names (e.g. "24030 – Programmierparadigmen"), you can create a course_names.toml file in the output directory. It should contain the desired mapping of course names to folder names, e.g.:
"24030 – Programmierparadigmen" = "ProPa"
"Numerische Mathematik für die Fachrichtungen Informatik und Ingenieurwesen" = "Numerik"
