I posted this same thing on an existing topic but I think I messed up, I guess it belongs to a new thread. Here we go:
Guys, can someone explain me how the "already downloaded" feature works?
I noticed SubDOwnloader (2.0.11, open version) kept downloading everytime all the subs, even if I already had them. Only a set of subs in one folder were correctl labeled as "already downloaded" and consequently not selected for download by default.
I struggled to discover in what those subs were different from all the others, but I found nothing. Even a lot of experimenting with edit dates or other file propreties lead to nowhere. I even ended up having two files, one the copy of the other, IDENTICAL in every aspect, one is correctly labeled as "already downloaded", and the other isn't.
Does someone know how that feature is supposed to work? How does it detects if a sub has already be downloaded? (clearly it's not just checking if there is already another sub file with the same name in the folder).
It's quite important for me since I download lot of series and everytime I get a new episode I don't want SubDownloader to download every goddam sub from each series again.
thanks!
