The original reason was that in order for the ADS to mark an episode as downloaded we need to track the torrent on the host via the torrent client, so that we know when the download is completed.

In order to do this we need a reliable way to identify which torrent on the host relates to the episode we are trying to keep up to date. Why do we need to track the torrent progress? If we do not track the torrent on the host, then we run into the situation where the next run of the ADS in 15 minutes time will resubmit the next suitable torrent. This may not necessarily even be the same.

You could get duplicate downloads, or bombard the user every 15 minutes with torrent host pop-ups asking to merge the new torrent info with the existing one. Users doing post-download processing via FileBot or other methods could also run into problems. Why not just mark the episode as downloaded automatically at the start? If we mark the episode as downloaded at the start when we submit the. Should the torrent download fail, or cannot find any seeders to get started, or any number of torrent related problems, then the user will have to manually adjust the episode status and reset for another ADS search.

They will need to manually identify which episode the problematic torrent download is associated with. While managing one or two torrents is negligible, some users have multiple episodes downloading per day, with multiple torrents active while they do seeding, and keeping track of all that activity manually will become tiresome in no time.

This will also be handy for those who wait for the x torrents which by necessity are usually released several hours if not days after the regular x torrents. Sorry, something went wrong. While the amount you enter may be in minutes, the maximum you can use is governed by the number of days you have set your auto-download scan period to.

So, for example, if you set auto-download to scan back for 7 days, then you can set the delay on the global settings and the custom settings for each series to minutes. The last change went in 2 days ago, and the ticket was set to 'ready for testing' at that time. I've completed my testing, hence the closure of this ticket. Release notes:.

DuckieTV hates censorship Blocking-resistant, multiple torrent-search engines built-in DuckieTV tries to make it as simple as possible to bypass the silly censorship laws laid down by people and corporations that do not understand how people want to consume their content these days.
