Hi,
I give the following options while downloading videos from a channel...
--write-sub
--write-description
--write-info-json
--max-filesize 50m

Now, due to the size filter, many videos are skipped and not downloaded.
But the description and subtitles for those skipped files are still downloaded.
I think additional files should also be skipped for skipped videos.

This is expected behavior.

is it expected behavior, or just the current behavior.
I am skipping the video because I am not interested in that video. In that case why the other associated files?
