Bug ID: 526730
Summary: Option to limit automatic downloads to the next N
episodes in the queue
Classification: Applications
Product: kasts
Version First unspecified

Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
Currently, Kasts allows users to configure parallel downloads and automatically
download new episodes. However, when managing a large queue, there is no option
to restrict automatic downloads to only the top N episodes in the queue (e.g.,
automatically downloading only the next 5 or 10 episodes ahead).
FEATURE REQUEST
Add a setting/option in Kasts to limit automatic downloads based on queue
position, for example:
- "Only automatically download the top [X] episodes in the queue."
USE CASE / BENEFIT
- Storage management: Keeps offline storage footprint small without requiring
manual deletion or manually starting downloads episode by episode.
- Bandwidth management: Useful for users on limited data plans or metered
connections who want a buffer of upcoming episodes without pre-downloading an
entire large queue.
- Better queue management: Ensures that as the user reorders the queue, only
the upcoming un-downloaded episodes at the top get fetched automatically.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Similar functionality exists in other podcast clients where the app maintains a
fixed "lookahead" buffer of downloaded episodes from the queue.
