[420 FLOOD_WAIT_X] would cause photos and videos which size is 0KB about telegram_media_downloader HOT 5 OPEN

I think it is a bug from pyrogram, we just can't catch the FLOOD error from app.download_media function. So I find another way to solve this, when show a FloodWait error, the file downloaded size usually is 0KB, so we can test whether the file size is 0KB.

def is_file_empty(file_path):
    if os.path.exists(file_path):
        return os.path.getsize(file_path) == 0
    else:
        return True

flag = True
while flag:
    # 'download_media' is a function from 'pyrogram'
    file_path = app.download_media(file_id)
    if file_path and not is_file_empty(file_path):  
        flag = False
        # solve success situation
    else:
        time.sleep(10)
        # sleep for several seconds and retry

Where should I need to insert this code?

Is there any way to make the program automatically wait for the time required by telegram and than restarting the download?

We can’t get the seconds that telegram required, because we just can’t catch the FLOOD error info from pyrogram. If you want to make the program wait for the time required by telegram exactly, I think you can let time.sleep from 10 to 1…but i think it will put pressure on telegram’s server, i think check every 30 seconds is ok

by the way, I didn’t try to insert my code to TELEGRAM_MEIDA_DOWNLOADER, because I just want to download all pics from a channel, it is easy to achieve By just using PYROGRAM, so I wrote my own code, and not use TELEGRAM_MEDIA_DOWNLOADER
