NZBs added via RSS in a paused state fail to show size of download

Post by fancyradar »

Prior to upgrading from v4.1.0 to v.4.2.2., when an RSS feed added a download to the queue in a paused state it would show the size of the download. Now, it shows "Fetch NZB from URL" instead and I have to unpause the download to see the size. Is this a bug, or is there an option to re-enable the way it functioned in 4.1.0?

This is by design, so you can decide if you actually want to download the NZB.
This way you can prevent API-hits on sites that have strict API-hit limits.
Only when we fetch the NZB we know it's size.
You will have to add the item to the queue not in the paused state to avoid this.

Thanks, @safihre. It'd be nice to have an option to work like v4.1.0 did (use an API hit to get the NZB to determine the size). For things that are paused, I'm typically deciding what to unpause based on the size, so not knowing the size makes that hard and I have to end up unpausing all the items in the queue and then stopping the ones I don't want.

You can make selections based on size also in the RSS feed criteria. Only add certain jobs with certain keywords if they are larger or smaller than a set size.

I do filter based on size as well, but as an example, when things get past the filter and into the queue, some will be duplicates. I'd like to still see the size in the queue in case I want to download some of the duplicates vs. what was already downloaded. I guess I just liked the way 4.1.0 handled this better.
