gitignore: ignore downloaded media so an in-tree run can't commit content

running got in the repo root drops downloaded files next to the source;
torrents/control files were already ignored, add common media (mkv/mp4/
avi/mov/webm/iso/mp3/flac) so anime/ISO downloads don't show up as
untracked and can't be committed by accident.

 # got
 
-A small, Rob-Pike-style command-line download tool in Go: one program that
-downloads HTTP(S) URLs over several connections and BitTorrent
-magnets/torrents, with a focused set of options.

-The design leans on Go's runtime instead of a hand-rolled reactor. There is no
-single-threaded event-poll loop: one goroutine per download blocks on real I/O,
-a buffered channel of slots bounds concurrency, and `context` carries shutdown.
-What remains is the data — and, per Pike, the data is the design.

-| `-q, --quiet` | no progress readout | false |
+| `-q, --quiet` | no progress output | false |
 
-### Resuming across runs
+## Resume
 
-There is no daemon — resume is a plain file. Point
-`--save-session` and `-i` at the same file and add `-c`: unfinished downloads
-are loaded at start and the still-unfinished ones are written back on exit.
+HTTP downloads resume from a small `<file>.got` sidecar — just re-run with `-c`.
+Torrents resume from the data already on disk. To resume across runs, point
+`--save-session` and `-i` at the same file:
 
 ```sh
-got -c --save-session=got.session -i got.session  <new urls/magnets...>
+got -c --save-session=got.session -i got.session  <urls/magnets...>
 ```
 
-On the first run the session file need not exist. HTTP downloads resume from
-their `.got` control file; torrents resume from the data already on disk
-(re-checked by the engine). A magnet with no reachable peers no longer hangs:
-`--bt-metadata-timeout` bounds the metadata fetch and defaults to 60s (set it to
-0 to wait forever).
+## Notes
 
-## Design
-
-```
-main            classify URIs, wire options, run, report exit code
- └─ download    the Download interface + the scheduler (-j semaphore, ctx)
-     ├─ httpdl  []Segment + worker pool + WriteAt + JSON resume sidecar
-     └─ bt      anacrolix/torrent behind the Download interface
- ├─ cli         one flat option table -> hand parser -> layered config
- └─ progress    one ticker goroutine, pull-snapshot, \r line redraw
-```
-
-The contract is one small interface:
-
-```go
-type Download interface {
-        Name() string
-        Run(ctx context.Context) error   // blocks in its own goroutine
-        Stat() Stat                       // a value snapshot, lock-free to read
-}
-```
-
-- **HTTP** splits the file into byte-range `Segment`s handed to a pool of
-  workers. Each worker streams its range straight to one shared file with
-  `os.File.WriteAt` — safe for concurrent non-overlapping writes, so there is no
-  shared seek offset and no mutex. Resume is a small JSON sidecar
-  (`<file>.got`) holding per-segment progress plus validators (length +
-  ETag/Last-Modified) so a stale file is never trusted.
-- **BitTorrent** is `anacrolix/torrent` configured from the CLI options and
-  driven to completion, then seeded for `--seed-time` minutes or up to
-  `--seed-ratio`.
-- **Options** are one flat `[]Opt` table — the single source of truth for
-  parsing, validation, defaults and `--help`. Layers apply in order:
-  built-in defaults, config file, proxy environment, command line.
-- **Progress** is a single goroutine that ticks once a second, pulls a snapshot
-  of the running downloads, derives speeds from the change since the last tick,
-  and redraws one line with `\r` + erase-to-end-of-line.
-
-## Status
-
-Implemented: segmented HTTP(S) with resume — including a foreign/browser-started
-partial file (`-c`) — multi-mirror downloads (several URLs, or TAB-grouped `-i`
-lines, fetch one file with connections spread across servers and fallover; `-Z`
-to download them separately), retries, rate limits, auto-renaming,
-`Content-Disposition` naming, conditional GET, cookies
-(`--load-cookies`/`--save-cookies`), HTTP basic auth, `--remote-time`, whole-file
-checksum verification (`--checksum`), and a `--dry-run` availability check;
-BitTorrent download + seeding (magnet and `.torrent`,
-DHT, trackers, file selection, show-files, metadata-fetch timeout), seeding that
-stops on whichever of `--seed-time`/`--seed-ratio` comes first, and a listen port
-chosen from the whole range so a busy port no longer disables BitTorrent;
-a command-line interface with documented exit codes, config file, live progress,
-and session save/reload for resume across runs.
-
-Deferred (not implemented yet): FTP/SFTP, Metalink, and the
-JSON-RPC server. The architecture leaves room for
-each — a new protocol is just another `Download`. One known limitation: the
-BitTorrent engine (`anacrolix/torrent`) applies download/upload rate limits
-client-wide, so `--max-upload-limit`/`--max-download-limit` act per-run rather
-than per-torrent when several torrents run at once (`--max-overall-*` are exact);
-DHT/PEX likewise cannot yet be disabled per private torrent.
+- BitTorrent uses [`anacrolix/torrent`](https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent);
+  HTTP uses the standard library.
+- Not implemented: FTP/SFTP, Metalink, and the JSON-RPC server.
+- When several torrents run at once, `--max-download-limit` /
+  `--max-upload-limit` apply per run rather than per torrent (`--max-overall-*`
+  are exact).
