The folder that direct downloads temporarily get downloaded to before being moved to the correct location

A folder that Kapowarr checks every 15 minutes for comics you acquired elsewhere. Files that have finished writing and match a volume already in your library are moved in, renamed and converted like a normal download. Anything unmatched is left untouched. Leave empty to disable. It cannot overlap a root folder or the temporary download folder.

Removes any "ghost" files in the direct download temporary folder (handy if the application crashed while downloading, leading to half-downloaded files in the folder).

The amount of direct downloads that are allowed to run at the same time.

Time in minutes that the download is stalled before it's considered to be failing and is removed from the queue. Set empty to disable.

How a torrent that goes seeding should be handled. Either wait until it has completed seeding and then move the files, or copy the files and then delete the original when seeding finishes.

Remove external downloads from their download client history when they have completed.

Preferred acquisition protocol when otherwise-equivalent matches are available: Direct (including GetComics), Torrent, or Usenet.

Search every source asks all of them at once and uses Source Priority to pick between the results. It finds the most, and it spends every source's quota on every search.

Stop at the first source with a match works down Source Priority and stops as soon as one actually has the issue, so a source further down is never asked when a preferred one already had it. Choose this when your sources are not equally cheap — an unmetered Usenet account above tightly rationed public torrent indexers, for instance. It can miss a better release that a lower-priority source had.

Minimum seconds between two requests to the same torrent indexer. The default is 1. Set to 0 for no delay.

Note that one search is several requests: it tries up to four phrasings of the title, stopping at the first that returns anything, and asks every torrent indexer each time. A fruitless search therefore costs roughly four times this delay — 5 seconds here is about 15 seconds per search, and 30 is about 90. Pick it against how long a sweep of your whole library may take, not just against the indexer’s patience.

The same, for Usenet indexers. The default is 0, since most allow far more queries than a search will ever use.

Minimum completed release size in MiB. The default is 1 MiB. Set to 0 to disable the minimum.

Maximum completed release size in MiB. The default is 300 MiB. Set to 0 for no maximum.

When GetComics explicitly offers equivalent HD and SD download groups, prefer the selected variant. Unlabelled releases remain usable.

Choose whether a valid multi-issue range should be preferred over individual issues. Existing pack safety and owned-issue pruning still apply.
