download speed does not exceed 0.3mb

[FreeM1ne]

I think we should add a "workers" parameter to specify the number of workers to download the file.

I don't have plans to complicate the download code further. Not in v1.

However, the above should refetch the message, if you're using message.download_media to download the file.

[FreeM1ne]

Yeah, I'm using message.download_media
but the error still appears

The above commit has not been released yet, though you could try pip3 install -U https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/archive/v1.zip and see if it helped at all.

Either way it's very slow, also, on importance I rate it 8/10
Telegram wouldn't be telegram if it didn't have files, it's not just chatting.
