+### Downloading media
+
+I add an example to downloading the message media if exists. Please check it in `on message` event!
+
+We use `mime-types` package to get the file extension by it's mimetype, so we can download all of the type of media message.
+
+And we decided (for this example) to use time as the filename, because the media filename is not certain exists.
