Acquisition reliability: a download that goes nowhere stops holding its episode,
and a release stops being blamed for things that were never about it. A torrent
transferring nothing is given up on after six hours and the next-best release
tried; a torrent that vanishes, loses its files, or arrives in a format
Transpondarr cannot follow no longer blocks the release.
Fixed
- A download that never gets going no longer holds its episode forever. A
torrent that finds nobody to download from, or a magnet stuck at Downloading
metadata, used to sit in the queue indefinitely with no other release tried.
One that has transferred nothing is now given up on after six hours and the
next-best release taken. Configurable under Settings → Download client,
where 0 waits forever. - A download that has made any progress is never given up on, however long it
then sits, and paused or queued ones are left alone. Nothing is removed from
your download client — cancelling stays yours to do there. - Every download now shows how long it has left. A new one reads giving up
in 6h until its first bytes arrive: what would happen if nothing ever came,
not a sign that anything is wrong. - A download waiting its turn now reads Queued. It showed as Downloading ·
0%, indistinguishable from one getting nowhere — which matters most if you cap
how many downloads run at once. - A release is no longer blocked because its torrent went missing. A download
that disappears from the client, or whose files vanish from disk, still frees
its episode — but the release is no longer remembered as a bad one, because
neither says anything about it. A dropped mount used to block every release it
touched, for a day, a week, or permanently on a third occurrence. - A download whose data the client has lost now reads Data missing, and the
next search moves on to another release. Grabbing such a release by hand fails
outright rather than reporting success and quietly failing. - One failed download is now remembered once, not twice. When a pack's
episodes were added to the queue at different times, a torrent that vanished
counted as two separate failures of the same release, pushing it up the
blocklist's ladder twice as fast. - A release in a torrent format Transpondarr does not support is refused when
it is grabbed. A download published in BitTorrent v2 alone was accepted by
qBittorrent but could not be followed, so it sat unaccounted for until the
grace period expired — then was blocked for something never wrong with it. - An import interrupted mid-transfer no longer leaves a file in the library.
Transpondarr renames a temporary file into place on completion, so a crash
never leaves a half-written episode under the real name — but the temporary
file stayed. A new Library tidy job removes them once they are a day old.
Upgrade notes
- Downloads that have been stuck at 0% will start being given up on. The
six-hour timeout is counted from the upgrade, not from however long a torrent
has already sat, so one transferring nothing is failed six hours after you
upgrade and its release blocked for a day. To hold one deliberately, pause it
in your download client or set the wait to 0; either stops the clock. - Releases already blocked under the old rule stay blocked. Entries recorded
when a torrent went missing or lost its files carry over, including any at the
permanent rung. A title's History tab lists them under Blocked releases
with an Unblock on each, and Settings → Failure memory has a Forget
all.
