npm start

Continuity of Downloads

If you run the script and download a certain number of matches, then stop the script and restart it, the tool will look for the previously created files with downloaded matches. It will read the already downloaded matches and continue from where it left off.

Troubleshooting Language Display Issues

If you encounter issues with displaying characters in your respective language, you may need to configure CMD or PowerShell to use a font that supports these characters.

Right-click on the title bar of CMD or PowerShell.
Select "Properties".
Go to the "Font" tab.
Choose "SimSun Ext-B" as the font. This font supports a wide range of characters and is installed by default.

Note: "SimSun Ext-B" is just one example that has been tested to work with all characters. You can also install other fonts that support your language characters if needed.
