Download text tweets?

Why not get the text tweets? Simply save them to a file either one per tweet or collectively?

I'm doing this
twitter-media-downloader -u TheRoaringKitty -a -r -n 5000 -f "{DATE} {ID}" -B -U

and it's only downloading about 80 files. It seems to be getting overlapping ID's because it will say a lot of "already exists". So I think it is getting the wrong ID's. If one doesn't use -U then it takes a long time to download but it adds no more.

Basically whatever is getting the tweet ID's seem to be broken.
