Anything else?

I don't think it is a bug. It should be reported to the user, but it is not a bug. This can happen.

Hey @elmoritz! So is the issue here that the episode was not downloaded on a spotty network? Or that the error message should be better? If you saw a 'timed out' error popup, it sounds like the episode failed to load because of the bad network conditions. What would you like to see changed here?

[elmoritz]

Hi @gdavis, as a user I expect that if the download failed due to bad Connection, I receive a message, that I should trigger the download again. But instead I got a bug report message, which I think is a little over the top, since you can not fix the issue.

😇

Sounds good! Will add it to the queue.

@elmoritz I added some error detection here so you'll see some better error messages when the network connection fails. Thanks again for reporting!
