Gallery-dl: [Question] Skip old file checking when new files have been downloaded into a folder

[Vishvamitra]

Hello everybody!
I've been using gallery-dl on Ubuntu 18.04 for a couple of months and I absolutely love it, so I'd like to thank the developper(s) of this project for giving us such a great tool.
Secondly, my question might be really stupid, since I don't consider myself as an advanced user of this program, so there might be fixes for this question already which I don't know about. I ran a quick search on on this site to check if anyone had made a question like mine in the past already, but apparently I couldn't find any clue.
Now to the problem: whenever I download a lot of files from different users with a single terminal command, I notice that gallery-dl downloads the new files of each user at the beginning and places them in the default folder, and then it proceeds into checking all the old files in every folder. This is very comfortable, but if a user has uploaded 1k or more files, checking every single one of them every time can make all the bulk download procedure quite long. My question is very simple: in order to make the download process much faster when multiple arguments are given to the gallery-dl command, is it possible to set gallery-dl to stop checking old files for a specific user/website and to ask gallery-dl to download the new files from the next user/website in queue?
I don't know if my question is clear enough.

My solution to this is using --abort 5, since gallery-dl tends to go from newest to oldest, when it finds 5 files already downloaded, it skips to the next URL.

@kattjevfel Thank you very much, this is the option I was looking for! I even read the whole manual of gallery-dl but I probably skipped it.
