Reddit Downloader

Reddit Downloader is a Python script that allows you to download media files (photos, audio, and videos) from a specified subreddit on Reddit. You can filter the files by type, format, and word patterns in the post titles. The script supports multithreading to download files faster, and it uses the praw and requests libraries to interact with the Reddit API and download files, respectively.
