lux will auto retry when the download failed, you can specify the retry times by -retry option (default is 100).
Cookies can be provided to lux with the -c option if they are required for accessing the video.
Cookies can be the following format or Netscape Cookie format:
name=value; name2=value2; ...Cookies can be a string or a text file, supply cookies in one of the two following ways.
As a string:
$ lux -c "name=value; name2=value2" "https://www.bilibili.com/video/av20203945"As a text file:
$ lux -c cookies.txt "https://www.bilibili.com/video/av20203945"You can set the HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy using environment variables:
$ HTTP_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:1087/" lux -i "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnbch2osEeo"$ HTTP_PROXY="socks5://127.0.0.1:1080/" lux -i "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnbch2osEeo"Use -n option to set the number of download threads(default is 10, only works for multiple-parts video).
Special Tips: Use too many threads in mgtv download will cause HTTP 403 error, we recommend setting the number of threads to 1.

优酷的 ccode 经常变化导致 lux 不可用，如果你知道有新的可用的 ccode，可以直接使用 lux -ccode ... 而不用等待 lux 更新（当然，也欢迎你给我们提一个 Pull request 来更新默认的 ccode）
最好是每次下载都附带登录过的 Cookie 以避免部分 ccode 的问题
