Eduardo Kalinowski	9cdf679fc1	Fix interruped downloads with --latest-stamps (#1219 ) The most recent post is cached in NodeIterator (and saved to the disk), and its timestamp is used, instead of the timestamp instaloader was run. This way, even in later resuming runs the timestamp stored is the same that would have been stored if the first run. Fixes #1206.	2021-07-24 19:27:46 +02:00
