EDIT: Delete this, I'm a dumb, I did't understand to put the profile that I want to download instead of mine.

I've added the auth_header and the cookie in the config.yaml.

When I start the program I obtain an unknown error, i don't know where to check it.

The output is:

╰─ $ boosty-downloader.exe --username myuser@gmail.com
[14:20:34] Boosty_Downloader.INFO 🔹: You are using the latest boosty-downloader version.

           Destination directory: D:\temp\boosty\boosty-downloads\myuser@gmail.com
           ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Script will download: boosty_videos, external_videos, post_content, files, audio
           ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTICE: You can safely interrupt the download at any time with Ctrl+C.

NOTICE: Progress bar for external videos downloadings can be glitchy, because yt-dlp downloads them by chunks.
If you see strange progress movement that's normal in most cases, just be patient.


           Boosty_Downloader.ERROR ❌: Unknown error occurred, please report this at GitHub issues of the project: https://github.com/Glitchy-Sheep/boosty-downloader/issues

I've tried in both windows (11) and Linux (Ubuntu).

Where should I check a better error?

Ah, that's actually useful, thank you!

The downloader probably should tell you about "user not found" rather than "Unknown error", I'll check this.
