Timeout for grabbed/snatched-to-downloaded status

[PoshSparks]

Question, is there an option to say how long to wait when a (torrents only in my case using blackhole) episode has been snatched until its downloaded before automatically considering it failed?

I would like to be a tad more aggressive about acquiring my episodes… I know that when I grab/snatch an episode, I should have it downloaded and processed within 5-10 minutes… so, lets say that I set a timeout for 30 minutes… if its not been marked downloaded since it was grabbed within 30 minutes, it would mark it failed and move on to the next available version…

note, I’m new to this forum, but not necessarily a newbie to Sonarr/Sickrage etc… I’ve been digging around in the settings and forums and can’t find if this possible…

if this isn’t something available, would this be a worthy feature request? Thoughts?

Sonarr version (exact version): Version 2.0.0.5085
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows):Mono Version 5.4.1.7
OS: Debian Jessie (under docker)

Sonarr gets failed downloads from the download client, but since Sonarr doesn’t know about the download client, just where to dump the torrent file and later pick up the file, it won’t handle any failures.

In other clients there isn’t yet any stalled download detection, but that’s something we intend to look into at some point.

An option to automatically mark a download as failed if it hasn’t downloaded in a certain time with blackhole isn’t something I see us adding, for one reason being there is no guarantee that Sonarr will be able to map a torrent sent to the blackhole with a file to be imported later, as file/folder name can and do differ from the torrent name.

You may be able to use Sonarr’s API to do something of this nature, check history and mark as failed w/ blacklist may work.
