This will increase the download/upload speed when using telethon

Update :

• add support for floodwaits
• added an example on how it works
• updated to work with the latest telethon version 1.21
• newest update. it's working fine again thanks to tulir's update
• abandon all hope. nothing is working
• it's actually working now
• :D :( :D
• even progress_callbacks ? idk maybe ?
• use a different session for downloading because telegram might close the server.
• ok broken again. files md5 is wrong and are corrupted
• nvm found why. asyncio.wait doesn't return in order so the file isn't being written in correct order.
• used asyncio.gather instead which returns in order. not sure if it's the best solution but it's working
• using more than 20 workers will cause all of them to stop working (needs more testing with real accounts)
• broken if it lives in another dc until lonami fixes it

Notes :

• progress_callbacks are working fine.
• the number of workers is chosen dynamically
• increase the number of workers to increase the speed. (the faster your internet speed the faster you should put the workers).
• if you put the number of workers too hight you'll get floodwaits.
• the file uploaded will always be a bare document without any attributes. you can add attributes to it using utils.get_input_media() and utils.get_attributes
• if you want it to be even faster make sure to use https://github.com/painor/pyaesni instead of cryptg

How to use :

1. Put all of this in a seperate file
2. import download_file and upload_file from it
3. you can use download_file like so await download_file(client, msg.document, file, progress_callback=prog)
4. you can use upload_file like so r = await upload_file(client, file,progress_callback=prog)
5. file are objects that .read() .write() methods.
6. Check the example file
