Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I would sincerely appreciate the downloading of SRT files similarly to how EPUB files are currently downloaded in the mobile app?

This is related to but is different from #2257 because I am not asking for them to be displayed in the mobile app in any way. I will use Smart AudioBook Player to view them.

Currently, SRT files don't appear in the Mobile app at all, though they do appear in the web interface under Library Files.

Thanks!

Why would this be helpful?

So that users who prefer to read along with audiobooks will have a mechanism to synchronize them (and then use an external player to view them).

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

This is not a visual feature request.

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.11.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

No image is applicable because this would happen in the background similarly to how EPUB files are downloaded.
