    I added a file check. This solved my problem.

      for message in tqdm(messages):
        if type(message.media) == telethon.MessageMediaPhoto: 
            message.download_media('./' + title + '/')

    Good Morning, I try to help you.

    I think your problem is how do you read the line:

    message.download_media('./' + title + '/')

    Think that in the Telethon documentation it is shown as follows:

    client.download_media(media, path)

    I have found a similar bug, try from this already solved question:
