β Failed Import Settings
β‘Failed Import Max Strikes
Number of strikes before a failed import download is removed from the queue. Set to 0 to disable failed import cleaning, minimum 3 to enable.
πFailed Import Ignore Private
When enabled, private torrents will be skipped during failed import cleaning. This is useful if you want to preserve private tracker content even when imports fail.
This setting needs a download client to be configured.
ποΈFailed Import Delete Private
When enabled, private torrents that reach the maximum strikes will be deleted from the download client. Use with caution as this will permanently remove the download.
Setting this to true means private torrents will be permanently deleted, potentially affecting your private tracker account by receiving H&R if the seeding requirements are not met.
This setting needs a download client to be configured.

title mismatch
manual import required
recently aired
Failed imports containing these patterns in their name will be skipped during cleaning. Useful for avoiding removal of legitimate downloads that may have temporary import issues.
