🐛 What happened?

When a single Boosty post contains more than one video, the downloader writes them to the same filename. Each download overwrites the previous one, so only one video survives — the others are silently lost with no warning.

🔁 How to reproduce

Find a post that contains 2 or more videos.
Run: boosty-downloader download --username <creator> <post_url>
Watch the output directory while it runs — the first video appears, then is replaced by the next.

Expected behavior

Every video in the post should be preserved. When a filename collision would occur, the tool should disambiguate (append an index, the video ID, or a counter) instead of overwriting.

Actual behavior

Only one video file remains after the post finishes downloading. Earlier videos are overwritten.

🖥️ Environment

boosty-downloader version: 3.0.0 (latest release)
Python: 3.13
OS: Android / Termux (aarch64)
