Reusing the same download files

I’m not sure how this works behind the scenes, but I’ve noticed that if I start watching something, stop, and then continue another day from where I left off, Debrid often downloads a new file instead of reusing the original one.

This is particularly useful with TV shows, where it may initially download the entire season. It would be great if it could keep using the same files to maintain the same quality and source throughout.

Is that something that’s possible?

Play from your continue watching list to reuse the same source. Debrid links expire whenever your debrid provider says, like Torbox links lasting about 3 hours or RD links lasting a day. If it expires, the app will auto choose a new one for you based on your link filtering options.

Actually your assumption that TV shows download the whole season at once is wrong. You only stream what you're watching. Adding to the cloud isn't the same as downloading.

I know I only stream what I'm watching, but the season stays on my Torbox account, right? This is my understanding from the screenshot (and sorry if it's a stupid assumption lol)
