Allow skipping of files in an item or collection based on date/time/filesize #752

The --checksum flag is fine for small collections or small items, but I tend to download large collections using this tool and using the --checksum flag is time-consuming and slow for skipping existing files if collections have many items. I would suggest that there be some sort of --quick-check or similar flag that only does a basic check based on date/time and filesize - if they match, the tool skips the file. I don't need checksums generated for each and every file just to check and see if they already exist (if I'm resuming a download of a collection or updating said collection). Can this be made an option for the next update?
