Flagging files which have been removed.
« on: April 13, 2013, 02:53:13 pm »
    I am seeing an increasing amount of files which have been removed.  The log denotes in red letters "430 430 no such article".  It also denotes at the end "No files found".  I don't always have time to go and verify that all files made it.  Since we know no files were located could we set the icon in the Download queue to denote no files were found.  I know what you're thinking, just don't Cleanup until you have verified.  I guess I am bit obsessive compulsive and I click that Cleanup button like it's candy.  I think this feature would be very helpful to many users.  Thanks.
    Maybe we could even take it a step further and if first file does not exist, "430 430 no such article" we could pause the d/l with a differentiating paused icon; assuming takedown has occurred.  That might satisfy the similar request recently made.

I did find the option to pause if removed, but it doesn't pause.

Some NSPs return a response that explicity identifies DMCA as the reason for the article not being found, which Alt.Binz can use to autopause, but others don't - just generic 430, which sometimes can just mean 'try again later'.

A more general and future-proof alternative to what you're suggesting might be simply to have a configurable option to autopause if X numbers (or X %) of articles are missing, with whatever response. Then you can decide whichever minimum threshold means DMCA is most likely.

That sounds like a good idea.  I like the customizable % part.  Maybe it will find it's way into a future release.
