Automatic download limit override for select series

App version: 3.5.0 Google Play

Problem you may be having, or feature you want: Currently, once the user’s automatic download episode limit is reached, additional episodes will only download if selected manually.

Suggested solution: Allow user to choose select “priority” series for which new episodes will continue to automatically download even if the total download episode limit has been reached.

This is similar to past feature requests to prioritize downloads. I subscribe to multiple podcasts, all of which I enjoy listening to offline occasionally, so I set most of them to include in auto-downloads. However, I have a few favorite series, which I would like to auto-download as soon as new episodes are released, regardless if my downloaded episode limit has already been reached, i.e., “priority” series that could override the download limit.

I am curious what your current download limit is? The priority override may start confusing people why their storage is filling up and then we need a way to filter to allow people to find subscriptions that have this override turned on

My current download limit is 10 episodes. I have 982 episodes in my inbox.

@Abby I think you can accomplish what you want by increasing the limit for auto downloading, turning off Auto downloading for the podcast feeds that you don’t want to be auto downloading, and turning on auto downloading for the feeds that you wanted to be overriding.
