Hello,
I have recently been inundated with failed downloads and im trying to think of a way to make it more robust.
One option is: My server (Server A) is with x provider and my friends server (Server B) is y provider. I want to use Server B as a backup server. Now each provider wont let us download from the same ip at the same time so my first obstacle is to set a schedule up to only use server B at times when I know my friend is not downloading. Is this possible? I can see in the schedule tab there is an action which list my server but when I add it, it says 'disable server .....' is there an enable option?
Then if a download fails from server A, during the time server B is not active will it wait until it is active to try to restore it or will it just fail?
Thanks.

Re: Backup servers
Yes, you can schedule server availability (enable and disable).
But if your primary server is not very reliable it would be better to schedule pauses and resumes instead.
Otherwise you'll still end up with failed downloads when server B is disabled.
