Impossible to drop entries from the kiwix::Downloader's cache #858

Closed veloman-yunkan closed 5 months ago

veloman-yunkan commented 5 months ago

kiwix::Downloader caches downloads that are actually managed by aria2c. However there is no API to drop entries from that cache. This results in the following bugs in kiwix-desktop:

  1. Downloading a book, removing it and then downloading it again (all in the same kiwix-desktop session) doesn't actually download it the second time and the attempt to open the book fails.
  2. Cancelling an incomplete download and then restarting it results in a ghost download that doesn't make any progress (kiwix/kiwix-desktop#1022).

Wrong repository (kiwix/libkiwix#1050 is the right one)
