AttachmentBuilder and MessagePayloads

I tried to read the source code on attachment builders and the files option for when sending a message but I just don't seem to understand how it works. For example, I did

const att = new AttachmentBuilder(urlToSiteWithMp4, { name: "test.mp4" })

channel.send({ files: [att] });

const att = new AttachmentBuilder(urlToSiteWithMp4, { name: "test.mp4" })

channel.send({ files: [att] });

It took a while to send the attachment and then I remembered I was told that attachments download or something like that. I said I'd like to make a progress bar so I checked the source code to see if theres any functions that create/download the attachment but I seen nothing. How do attachments/the attachmentbuilder work with messagepayload and how would I track its progress till it sends the attachment?

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.
