DML does not download any media when it is attached by cdn.discordapp (or any other link), i'd suppose this isn't a bug, but would it be possible to make it work ?

Yes, such links are not supported yet, as the tool only downloads real attachments, but those links generate an embed. One issue I still have is that any website might cause an embed with an image without a relation to the content end you might end up downloading the websites logo for example. For an attachment you can always be sure that the attachment is the real content, for an image from an embed that needn´t be the case all the time.

However I will keep this open and have a look into it for a next version as an optional feature.

Just read the other open (partly deprecated) issues I recognized this beeing a duplicate for #14.
