I also archive many playlists with some code I wrote but I don't use a GUI.

My focus is on error handling and trying to differentiate between unrecoverable errors and recoverable ones (try different proxy) but there's still a lot of work to be done.

Is it possible to download multiple videos at the same time in one instance?

It's not possible with single instance. GUIs and other wrappers like squid-dl achieve this by running multiple yt-dlp instances in the background

nope. You'll need to run multiple instances. You can find third party scripts designed for just that. Here's one for example: https://github.com/tuxlovesyou/squid-dl
