Description
It seems like there is no way of downloading every media in a collection.
Currently, you have to resolve the collection via lbrynet collection resolve --url=lbry://@OdyseeHelp#b/Video-Tutorials, extract all claimids of the items and lbrynet get them one after another. It would be great if you could simply do something like lbrynet get --url=lbry://@OdyseeHelp#b/Video-Tutorials --download_directory=/whatever

Research direction

Define the behavior for downloading every media item into --download_directory, then add coverage for the collection-download path and verify that the existing single-item behavior remains unchanged.
