One-off download

Start and manage a manual download

Use manual download when the content is already available and you do not need a recurring watch.

Start from Search

  1. Open Search.
  2. Select a provider and enter your search term.
  3. Review filename, source and available metadata.
  4. Select an online client where required.
  5. Start the download.

Understand the job states

  • Queued: waiting for a suitable client.
  • In progress: accepted and currently processed.
  • Completed: the client reported success.
  • Failed: an error requires attention or a retry.
  • Canceled: the job was stopped before completion.

Do not create a watch by accident

A manual download is a one-off action. Choose a watch only when autofetch should repeat the search or wait for future content.
