The o key sets one global download folder, so routing a single result
somewhere else (a movie to the NAS, a game to the big drive) meant
changing the setting and changing it back. D on a result now opens a
"download to" prompt for just that item; d stays a one-keypress
download to the default.
The queue already stores a dir per item, so resume, re-seed and
download-again honor the choice with no new plumbing. The prompt
reuses FolderPrompt (new title prop), pre-fills with the last D folder
this session so batches cost one typed path, and nothing new is
persisted. The ? sheet gains d/D entries (d was missing entirely) and
the README now mentions both o and D, which it never documented.
One behavior fix rides along because D exposed it: queue.add() used to
ignore the requested dir when re-adding a failed item, so redirecting
a failed download (the disk-full case D exists for) silently retried
into the old folder. add() now adopts the requested dir on failed
retry, dropping resume progress only when the folder actually changed;
covered in queue.add.test.ts with the engine mocked. The f retry key
goes through queue.retry() and keeps the item's own folder, unchanged.
D on an already-active item says "Already in queue" instead of
claiming a folder that wouldn't be used.
Finished downloads now keep seeding automatically and you opt out per item with
p, reusing the live torrent instead of tearing it down. Resume and restore seed
from the .torrent metadata captured at download time, so they verify the local
file immediately rather than depending on re-fetching metadata from the swarm.
Quitting now flushes queue, history, and seeds synchronously and exits
immediately, fixing the hang when quitting while seeding or with a paused seed.
Paused seeds persist their state and stay paused across restarts. Hide the
hardware cursor on the splash, and clarify that c removes a finished item the
same way in Downloads and Seeding.
Tests are isolated from the real data dir via a TORLINK_STATE_DIR override plus
vitest config, so runs never touch user data. Adds scripts/verify-seeding.ts
(npm run verify:seeding), an offline-deterministic harness proving seed, pause,
and resume transfer real bytes.
Curated, multi-source torrent search and download from the terminal:
concurrent search across built-in sources with streamed, source-tagged
results; a download-only webtorrent engine with true pause/resume and
restart recovery; magnet paste; and a calm Ink + React TUI. No indexer
server, no setup.
