"GB left" does not create a sum when "Checking" in Queue

Post by Makumba72 »

I have a queue with 10 items.
One is downloading, 3 show a timer, 6 show "Checking.

The "GB left" on the the top only shows the "GB left" combined by the item downloading and the items with a timer.
While the ones with "Checking" clearly show "0MB/123456MB", these values are not added to "GB left".

Why not? Since its next to the free disk space it would make sense to add all item sizes in the queue so the user knows if there is enough space. If the checking results later in different sizes (not happened so far) its still better to have an estimate instead of no sum at all.

I cant add URLs so I cant add a screenshot, sorry.

Check before download shouldn't be needed anymore. We have made many optimizations that make it much faster to just try the download.

Anyway, checking downloads aren't considered really bytes for any calculation so we exclude them.

Thank you for clarifying. I disabled the checking and see how it goes.
