The downloads working nicely but it could be better.

I'm on the latest 1.5.4, running on windows 10 x64

My network is kinda unstable, namely there are internet cutoff on hour shift, could be on one hour, could be on two. It lasts about a couple of minute when it happens. I don't know why my ISP do this, maybe form the low cost or something.

My last couple downloads failed at around 20% and I gotta redownload each time, I wonder if you could make it detect the files already on download folder and picks up where it left off?

As for the download progress I understand that HLS streaming is downloading predetermined thousand of pieces one by one, right? so could it like remove the last downloaded piece and continue from there like skipping the stream?

I maybe getting a little out of my head here as currently no HLS downloader I know support resuming, let alone the DRM protected ones.

and also once the download runs we cannot do anything? I would want to be able to pause or cancel but it maybe due to the status above, I presume?

I'm sorry for asking so much. I want it to be the best.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the kind message. Download resuming is totally possible, though I never put in the work to do it because most peoples internet is rather stable these days and I have to pick and choose where my limited time goes. I'll put it on my backlog of items to look at for sure. Though given the time investments involved, it would likely go into the Patreon branch of Jav-It.

Thanks for the reply, I am glad that it is possible.

Not gonna lie, I'm torn over patreon release. Is it works like a limited time exclusivity update?

What about the subtitle definition update?

Hey there! Thanks for your kind reply and interest.

TL’DR: In regards to your question, current Patreon edition features are not time limited. Likewise, the latest subtitle definitions are only available on Patreon. (^_^); If you like what I do, supporting me on Patreon is the only way to get: continued updates to the software, an open forum to request new features, a direct way to access my time, and ensure that I continue to work on Jav-It and support it’s maintenance in the future.

Long answer:

The base itch.io version already does what I set out to do, and in fact, I would have given it away for free to the community. However, I added a small token donation just to weed out unreasonable people who expect I give them 100% of my time, without giving anything back in return. So I don’t have any plans to significantly update it beyond general bug fixes and smaller quality of life changes. The reason I have a Patreon edition is because advancing this project comes at a personal heavy cost (basically at the expense of all my free time and personal funds to keep it going). I don’t mind working on this project, as there is nothing on the internet which can match what Jav-It does. However, I promised myself that I would only put in work that was directly proportional to the amount of people who would support it. That way, I wouldn’t feel burnt out giving up essentially 100% of my free time, for something people don’t appreciate. Perhaps in the future if I am lucky enough, I will get enough Patreon supporters that I could consider working on this full time. (One can wish!)
