I’ve looked around, but can’t seem to find it. I found some old threads/issues, so I’m not sure if this has been addressed since. Is there yet a way to set a parameter for a minimum # of seeders before allowing download, rather than the default of > 0? Without it, I’m forced to go through and do quite a few things manually, especially for older shows.
What if my indexers find an episode that has only 1 seeder at HD, but 30 seeders at SD? I’d prefer to take the lower quality and have the download happen quickly rather than have something sit in Deluge and not actually download. Then I can always search again later if I’m so inclined to find higher quality.
Is there some sort of negative recourse for exposing some sort of parameter that allows a user to select minimum # of seeders, or is this simply not a priority at the moment?
Quality will still win. We don’t have plans for changing that to allow the number of seeders to override the quality when deciding whether to grab a release.
It’s a bit of a can of worms, KAT for example had issues with newly posted content and other indexers could have the same issue. Also for one tracker someone might want to jump on a torrent immediately when it’s posted to get in early, but for older torrents/other trackers not bother unless there are more seeders.
