[Feature Request] Download par as soon as article fails to download
Posted: 23 Apr 2021, 00:29
Currently my client will happily download rar after rar with one or more articles failing to download, then once it has finished downloading many GBs of data it will try to download par files to enable a repair of the missing data. What if instead, once some articles fail to download it then requests a par file to cover the missing article then carries on as usual after verifying there are enough par files available. I believe this would stop the client earlier if there aren't enough par files to enable a correction.
For example, if the client fails to download a combined 260 articles across a bunch of rars, but there are only enough par files that can be downloaded to repair 64 missing articles (just an example) then it would have been much less waste to stop the download earlier after knowing there was 65+ articles missing.
