Feature: Download only if not exist

[ddubnyk]

First off, I see a lot of potential here so far from my minimal use. Gone a long way to creating my own private Fdroid Repo.

I was wondering if there would be a way to make it so it only downloads the apk if the file doesn't already exist in the outdir? Currently it seems to always download even if its already there and overwrites the existing file. This could help save on bandwidth and potentially prevent rate limiting when scripting this for checking for updates.

It would be possible to not save the file when it already exists. True, it would save bandwidth. But this wouldn't prevent rate limiting as to know the download file name app would still have to send the requests.

Option to skip download by specifying overwrite: false in v2.0.6. Default behavior remains the same as previous version which is to overwrite previous downloads.

You're awesome man! Will try it out today! Thanks

I'm not sure this is working yet. Here is how I have my json setup

{ "options": { "outDir": "/downloads", "type": "apk", "overwrite": "false" }, "apps": [ { "org": "digibites", "repo": "accubattery" }, { "org": "cibc", "repo": "cibc-mobile-banking" }, { "org": "cx-file-explorer", "repo": "cx-file-explorer" } ] }

Yet it seems to still be downloading and overwriting the files in my directory, changing the modified time and all. Is this the correct configuration?

Can you try false without quotes once and post the output ?

[ddubnyk]

Ah that was the fix! That worked perfectly thanks!

Yeah 💯
